Spanish Airports Set to Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2026
MADRID (Reuters) - Aena, the operator of all Spanish commercial airports, intends to make its terminals in the country carbon neutral in 2026, Chief Executive Maurici Lucena said on Wednesday.
The company is investing 750 million euros ($773 million) in the process, he said during an event held in Madrid. He was referring to the airport infrastructure, and not the airplanes using the infrastructure.
"It will take more time for airlines to decarbonise, and it's more difficult for them," he added. "Air transportation is the sector where decarbonising will be the most expensive."
Aena also operates airports in Britain, Brazil and several other Latin American countries.
