Gal\u00e1pagos Ecological Airport, the world\u2019s first airport built under sustainability criteria in Ecuador, has achieved Level 4+ in Airport Carbon Accreditation<\/em>. This milestone places the airport among the highest-accredited in the Latin America & Caribbean region, reflecting its strong commitment to decarbonisation and its vital role in safeguarding one of the world\u2019s most fragile ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Located at the heart of the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands, the airport opened in 2012, and joined Airport Carbon Accreditation<\/em> in 2015. In recent years, the airport has evolved into an integrated sustainability model, combining technical innovation with a deep respect for its natural surroundings.<\/p>\n

Among its key initiatives are the use of renewable energy sources, the operation of biodigesters for organic waste management, and the implementation of educational programmes such as Gal\u00e1pagos EduLab and PlastiLab, which promote environmental awareness and responsible consumption.<\/p>\n

Beyond its technical achievements, this milestone embodies Gal\u00e1pagos Ecological Airport\u2019s philosophy: sustainability is not a destination, but a way of operating. In the Gal\u00e1pagos \u2013 a UNESCO World Heritage site where every action has an impact \u2013 the airport demonstrates that aviation can be a force for conservation as well as connectivity.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on this achievement, Jorge Rosillo, General Manager of Gal\u00e1pagos Ecological Airport, said: \u201cAt Gal\u00e1pagos Ecological Airport, we believe that every airport operation can be an opportunity to care for the planet. This achievement not only fills us with pride but also drives us to keep innovating.\u201d<\/p>\n
