  Today it was announced that 55 airports in Europe are now part of the Airport Carbon Accreditation voluntary initiative, an increase of 12 airports. Stockholm Arlanda Airport has been involved since its inception in 2009 and as a result has reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 70,000 tonnes. In the first two years of the programme, total carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by more than 1.1 million tonnes.

  Sweden is a leader when it comes to developing airports with the least possible environmental impact. For instance, Stockholm Arlanda pioneered a number of innovations in air traffic management that help to reduce carbon emissions. Now the airport, in partnership with the Swedish Transport Administration and Viktoria Institute, is taking further steps to reduce its environmental impact while making door-to-door travel for air passengers more predictable and sustainable.

  [2012-01-09 04:00]

  The world’s largest aircraft landed today at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The aircraft is an AN-225 six-engine jet. Air cargo is an essential requirement for Swedish imports and exports, with more than 20 per cent of the total value of Swedish exports handled today by air cargo. It is also an important component for passenger airlines – since air cargo in the baggage hold is a key contributor to the profitability of long-haul carriers.
