Tuesday, January 21, 2025 Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, continues to lead the aviation industry’s climate transition by achieving significant milestones within the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) framework. As of December 2023, Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) and Ronneby Airport (RNB) have attained Level 5 ACA certification, the highest level in the program. This accomplishment follows the earlier certifications of Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) and Malmö Airport (MMX) at Level 5, making Swedavia the operator with the most airports globally at this advanced stage of environmental accreditation.
The ACA program, developed by Airports Council International (ACI), evaluates airports’ efforts in managing and reducing carbon emissions. Level 5 certification requires airports to achieve net-zero carbon dioxide emissions in their operations and to engage their entire value chain, including suppliers and partners, in climate transition efforts. Swedavia’s commitment to this comprehensive approach underscores its dedication to sustainable aviation practices.
Swedavia’s environmental strategy includes a goal for all ten of its airports to reach Level 5 ACA certification by 2026. The next phase involves certifying Kiruna Airport (KRN), Visby Airport (VBY), and Åre Östersund Airport (OSD) at Level 5 by spring 2025. This ambitious plan reflects Swedavia’s proactive stance in addressing climate change and promoting sustainable air travel.
