UAE airports cement global leadership in sustainability

Airports across the UAE are solidifying their position as global leaders in sustainability and innovation, driven by the implementation of ambitious projects and initiatives aimed at enhancing environmental efficiency and elevating the passenger experience.

In 2024, the UAE cemented its status as a leading global aviation centre with increased infrastructure investments, clean energy initiatives, and sustain ability-focused endeavours, including expanded use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and sustainable ground operations.

Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport exemplifies this commitment. Adhering to Estidama rating during construction highlights its adherence to stringent environmental standards in design and build. It became one of the largest buildings in the UAE to be awarded this prestigious rating.

Spanning 490,000 square meters of meticulously crafted green spaces, the project redefines sustainable landscaping in the region and solidifies Abu Dhabi’s commitment to a hub for innovation and environmental stewardship.
