In 2024, Athens International Airport (AIA) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 27,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 350,600 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 91,430 kg CO2e (market-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 26,448,370 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from the use of sold products (about 11,769,520 kg CO2e) and downstream leased assets (approximately 13,478,510 kg CO2e). In 2023, AIA's emissions in Greece were reported as 4,585,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 24,923,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based). However, no Scope 3 data was disclosed for that year. Despite these figures, AIA has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The airport's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all reported figures are derived directly from Athens International Airport S.A. Overall, AIA's commitment to addressing its carbon footprint remains unclear, with no specific climate initiatives or targets currently in place.
