Airport Carbon Accreditation

Athens International Airport participates in a global industry initiative led by Airports Council International (ACI) Europe, aimed at managing greenhouse gas emissions under the control of airport operators. AIA is currently accredited at Level 4+ (Transition) of Airport Carbon Accreditation. This was achieved by strengthening our cooperation with Third Parties and their commitment to reduce emissions, as well as by calculating additional Scope 1 and 3 emissions from direct and indirect sources.

In addition, AIA purchases high-quality carbon removals to compensate for residual Scope 1 emissions and Scope 3 business travel emissions. This approach supports the airport’s commitment to net-zero aligned operations. The certificate for the current reporting year is available here.
