Six AENA Brasil airports start their carbon reduction journey

mai 4, 2025

Six airports* operated by AENA Brasil have joined the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme at Level 1. By entering the programme at this level, these airports have committed to conducting a full assessment of their carbon footprint and setting a structured path to reduce emissions.

Their participation aligns with AENA Brasil’s broader Climate Action Plan (PAC), supported by over R$100 million in investments. The plan includes a wide range of initiatives, such as transitioning the airport fleet to clean energy vehicles, improving energy efficiency, installing solar power, powering terminals entirely with renewable electricity, and introducing sustainable waste and wastewater management systems.

AENA Brasil aims to progress to Level 2 of the programme by 2026, reinforcing its long-term commitment to decarbonisation. As Marcelo Bento Ribeiro, Director of Institutional Relations, Communications, and ESG at AENA Brasil, explained: “Our Climate Action Plan reflects our commitment to a more efficient, innovative, and internationally sustainable airport operation. We are investing today in transformations that will secure a carbon-neutral future, actively and effectively contributing to the decarbonisation of the aviation sector in Brazil.”

*The airports joining the programme are Recife International Airport, Maceió International Airport, João Pessoa International Airport, Aracaju International Airport, Juazeiro do Norte Airport, and Campina Grande Airport.
