“Environmental care is not only one of the airport community’s core values, but a principle we share in our daily operations and future development,” AAHK Chairman Marvin Cheung Kin-tung said during a ceremony to launch the new campaign. “[Our] pledge to become the world’s greenest airport marks a big step forward, putting HKIA at the forefront worldwide by providing a delightful airport experience and delivering exemplary environmental performance.”
AAHK officials also displayed their new fleet of 31 electric saloon vehicles during the ceremony. According to a press release, the airport authority now houses the largest fleet of electric saloon vehicles in Hong Kong and is encouraging business affiliates to slash carbon emissions by deploying electric-powered vehicles.
Other carbon-reduction measures AAHK has undertaken include installing LEDs, improving chiller systems and launching green educational programs, according to the press release. Such initiatives seem to be working; last year, HKIA — which also boasts the title of the world’s busiest cargo airport — lowered carbon intensity by 10 percent.
