QAIA becomes first in region to achieve carbon neutrality

AMMAN — The Airport International Group announced that Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has become the first in the Middle East, the second in the ACI Asia-Pacific region and one of only 21 airports worldwide to achieve Level 4+ ‘Transition’ of the Airport Carbon Accreditation Programme.

The ‘Transition’ certificate — granted by Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific — is valid until the renewal date in May 2025, according to a QAIA statement.

QAIA was awarded the certificate following a rigorous review of its carbon management processes, which affirmed its alignment with the global climate goals to reach a net-zero carbon status by 2050, in addition to its establishment of a roadmap to reduce CO2 emissions from fuel and electricity consumption and the ongoing responsible compensation of residual CO2 emissions under its control.
