In 2023, Athens International Airport (AIA) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,392,508,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5,465,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile and stationary combustion, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 22,568,000 kg CO2e, attributed to purchased electricity. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were significant, reaching around 2,392,508,000 kg CO2e, with contributions from business travel, employee commuting, and waste generated in operations. In 2022, AIA's total emissions were about 2,950,800,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 4,585,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 24,923,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were also substantial, totalling about 1,873,810,000 kg CO2e. Despite the high emissions figures, AIA has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The airport's emissions data reflects a growing trend in carbon output, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage. Overall, while AIA has made strides in tracking and reporting its emissions, further clarity on reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its sustainability profile.
