Queen Alia International Airport leading in Energy Transition, in top 21

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.

The Certificate was Awarded following a rigorous review of QAIA’s carbon management processes, which focused on 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.

Airport International Group CEO Nicolas Claude said “Since 2013, QAIA has been setting an example of what it means to be a climate-friendly airport and has been the first in the Middle East to achieve ‘neutrality’. Such a proud feat is instrumental in highlighting not only QAIA, but also Jordan, on the global aviation stage,”

“I wish to congratulate Queen Alia International Airport for achieving Level 4+, Transition accreditation from ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation programme, a significant milestone in their sustainability journey. By becoming the second airport in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region and the first in the Middle East to achieve Level 4+ status, Queen Alia International Airport is firmly positioning itself as a pioneer in carbon management,” said Stefano Baronci, director general, ACI Asia-Pacific.

Baronci added that “it is an impressive accomplishment in an era of unprecedented challenges for the aviation industry. The fact that airports, regardless of their size, are demonstrating strong commitment to operate in a more sustainable way to protect the environment is indeed a very positive sign”
