In 2023, AIA's emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 emissions at 345,700 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 93,100 kg CO2e. However, no Scope 3 data was disclosed for that year. Despite the substantial emissions figures, AIA has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from a parent organisation. The airport's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as there are no documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets reported. Overall, AIA's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of operational activities, particularly in Scope 3, underscoring the need for comprehensive climate strategies moving forward.
