All the leading airports across the world are focusing on environmental objectives and sustainability to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
This Frost & Sullivan research service examines airport sustainability in 2021 and evaluates its prospects in the ASEAN region. Sustainability best practices for Changi Airport Group, Malaysia Airports, and Airports of Thailand are discussed, and the social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainability at airports are analyzed.
The social aspect focuses on the creation of job opportunities and the improvisation of airports' brand equity; moreover, if training centers are set up, employee morale and productivity will be boosted and conflicts between airport operators and communities in proximity to airports will decrease. The environmental aspect highlights the curbing of carbon emissions through the use of renewable sources of energy; it also emphasizes that air and water quality can be improved by planting trees and using water filters. Nevertheless, if airports' sustainability plans are to become economically viable, airports will have to increase the airport development fee. They will also have to reduce long-term liabilities through cost savings on energy and infrastructure development and decrease operating and maintenance costs.
