Athens airport to become Europe’s first fully green-powered hub

·

Athens International Airport is on track to become the first in Europe to rely entirely on renewable energy, reaching a net-zero carbon footprint by 2025.

According to ekathimerini.com, unlike other airports that use carbon offsets or guarantees of origin, Athens will generate 100% of its energy needs from renewable sources, making it a true leader in sustainability.

This ambitious goal, part of the airport’s “Route 2025” initiative, will be achieved 25 years ahead of the 2050 target set for European airports.

According to airport officials, the large-scale green energy project is already in its final construction phase, marking a significant step toward sustainable aviation.
