Prague Airport has reduced its carbon footprint by 72 percent
Prague Airport has reduced CO emissions in the last year2 by 72 percent compared to 2009. At the same time, this year it again defended its carbon footprint management certification in the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program. Prague is thus one of the 20 European airports that has committed itself not only to reducing its carbon footprint from the operation itself, but also to involve its partners in this effort. These are, for example, airlines, handling or catering service providers or land transport users.
I am very pleased that Prague Airport has once again defended ACA accreditation at the third level. In 2021, we reduce CO2 emissions by 72% compared to the reference year 2009. The long-term goal of Prague Airport is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. pic.twitter.com/Y4HQdPHZC6
