Airports making "tangible progress" in reducing carbon emissions by Cheap Flights Booker UK

ACI Europe has released an update on the Airport Carbon Accreditation scheme - its flagship climate change initiative - claiming that the industry is making "tangible progress" in the drive to reduce its impact on the environment.

The organisation revealed that 55 airports in Europe, welcoming 52% of the continent"s air passenger traffic every year, have now been recognised at one of the four certification levels - mapping, reduction, optimisation and neutrality.

Helsinki, Dusseldorf and Warsaw airports, along with six others, were recently added to the list of bases to have received accreditation for their environmental achievements.

The update from ACI Europe followed the induction of the airline sector into the EU"s Emissions Trading Scheme at the beginning of this year.

Olivier Jankovec, director general of the aviation group, said: "Our industry continues to make tangible progress in addressing its carbon footprint and becoming more efficient.

"More than 750m passengers a year are travelling through European airports that are now Airport Carbon Accredited."

People planning to catch flights from the UK can choose from a range of services available from London Heathrow or Manchester, both of which have been recognised at the "optimisation" level of the accreditation scheme.
