Key Highlights
  • A major theme that has emerged is for airports to become carbon neutral. The new gold standard in environmental sustainability will demand cultural and operational changes for airports to realistically achieve this aim. Simply turning to solar or wind power instead of fossil-fueled electricity is a start, but not enough, and major changes must be taken.
  • For years, many airlines have offered passengers the option to offset the carbon produced from their flight and a few airlines are taking this one step further by adding mandatory green charges to ticket prices.
  • Leisure travel is the most obvious to be impacted by the flight shaming movement, but some socially focused companies are beginning to make policy changes to reduce the impact their operations have on carbon emissions.
