IGI gets recognition for efforts to reduce carbon emission

New Delhi: Indira Gandhi International airport here has become the fifth airport in the Asia-Pacific region to receive accreditation for its efforts in managing and reducing carbon emissions.
A global body of airports, Airport Council International (ACI), has accredited the IGI airport at Level 2 – 'Reduction' under the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme.
The IGI airport, operated by GMR-led consortium Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), has become the second airport in India after Bangalore International Airport to be accredited at this level, a statement from ACI (Asia-Pacific) said.
Airport Carbon Accreditation is an institutionally endorsed programme that independently assesses and recognises airports' efforts to manage and reduce their carbon emissions.
