Several airports within Saudi Arabia’s Cluster 2 Airports have earned Airport Carbon Accreditation from the Airports Council International (ACI), demonstrating their growing commitment to environmental sustainability at different stages of progress.
Arar Airport has reached Level 4+, one of the program’s
highest tiers, which requires airports to implement advanced policies and
strategies aimed at reducing absolute carbon emissions in line with global best
practices.
Meanwhile, several other airports have achieved Level 2
accreditation, including King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Airport in
Jazan, Najran Airport, Sharurah Airport, Wadi Al-Dawasir Airport, and Al-Wajh
Airport.
At this level, airports are expected to establish emissions
reduction targets and show measurable improvements in reducing their carbon
footprint.
The ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation program is a globally
recognised framework that independently evaluates and certifies airports’
carbon management efforts across seven progressive levels, ultimately guiding
participants toward carbon neutrality.
Together, these milestones highlight Cluster 2 Airports’
broader commitment to environmental sustainability and align with national
efforts under the Saudi Civil Aviation Environmental Sustainability Program and
the Saudi Green Initiative. -TradeArabia News Service
