I would also like to thank the judges for their valuable time and support.”

The Green Airports Recognition was established by ACI Asia-Pacific with the support of ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee. The Recognition’s objective is to promote environmental best practices to minimize aviation’s impact on the environment and to recognize ACI Asia-Pacific airport members who have outstanding accomplishments in their environmental projects. Understanding that different airports have different environmental priorities, each year, a specific environmental aspect will be chosen as the recognition theme. This year’s theme is Energy Management.

The submissions were reviewed by the following judges:     

Mr. Christopher Paling, Project Manager – Climate Change, Centre for Aviation, Transport, and the Environment, Manchester Metropolitan University Mr. Christopher Surgenor, Editor/Publisher, GreenAir Online Ms. Juliana Scavuzzi, Aviation Environmental Specialist, ACI World Dr. Panagiotis Karamanos, Aviation Environmental Consultant Mrs. Patti Chau, Regional Director, ACI Asia-Pacific

Mr. Christopher Surgenor, Editor/Publisher, GreenAir Online said, “The submissions were all of a particularly high standard and it is heartening that energy management and carbon reduction programmes are in place not only at the larger airports but also at smaller ones. It was interesting to see representation from throughout Asia-Pacific and Middle East and the variety of solutions being implemented. It’s a great start for the Green Airports Recognition.”

The award presentation ceremonies will be held on April 11, 2017 at the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly in Doha, Qatar. For more information about the event, please visit event website at http://aci-apaa2017.com/.
