Jaipur International Airport Limited (JIAL) has received the Silver Recognition at the Airports Council International Asia-Pacific and Middle East Green Airports Recognition 2026 awards.
Presented under the theme “Climate Change Adaptation,” the honour recognises the airport’s initiatives in climate resilience and environmentally responsible operations.
Jaipur International Airport, located in a semi-arid region frequently affected by heat waves, has developed a “Cool Terminal” ecosystem aimed at improving both energy efficiency and passenger comfort. As part of the initiative, Terminal 2 was upgraded with high-performance glass and insulated roofing to reduce indoor heat gain.
Combined with energy-efficient cooling systems and on-site solar power generation, these measures have reduced HVAC energy consumption by nearly 35% and lowered surface temperatures by 6–10 degree C.
The airport’s sustainability initiatives have also resulted in an annual reduction of more than 200 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions, supporting India’s broader climate and environmental objectives.
