Mumbai: The Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) in Mumbai has been awarded the globally recognised Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) for 2012-13 by the Airport Council International (ACI) for its pioneering carbon footprint management system.
In the Asia Pacific region only eight airports have been awarded with ACA, only five have made it to the reduction level and CSIA is one of them. Mumbai’s airport has now been upgraded from level 1 (mapping) to level 2 (reduction). This certification primarily recognises its efforts as an airport operator in managing the carbon dioxide emissions, as a part of airport industry’s response to the challenge of climate change.
