Established by ACI Asia-Pacific with the support of its regional environmental committee to help minimise the impact of the aviation industry on the global environment and to publicly recognise the member airports who have made significant contribution in their environmental projects.

ACI Asia-Pacific has now released the results for this year’s theme – Green Airport Infrastructure. There were 19 submissions this year, which represents 17% of the region’s flight passenger traffic.
