The main objective of Aena’s strategy to combat climate change is to achieve a progressive reduction in CO2 emissions derived from the company’s own activity.

Bring Aena’s carbon neutrality program forward to 2026, as well as having the Airport Carbon Accreditation accreditation from ACI EU level 3+ neutrality at the main airports.
