Athens International Airport (AIA) is widely considered to be one of the most sustainable airports in Europe. It has numerous ambitious initiatives to reduce their environmental impact and minimize their contribution to climate change. It has already achieved many of their goals, such as reducing their CO2 footprint by 60% between 2005 and 2021. Athens International Airport is currently on the final stages of its Route 2025 initiative, hoping to be net carbon zero by the end of the year.

Athens International Airport announced an initiative in 2019 to achieve net carbon zero by the year 2025. This was 25 years earlier than their anticipated plan of achieving net carbon zero by 2050. However, the Route 2025 initiative has reached its final stages as of this year. The initiative provides a detailed road-map for AIA to self-produce 100% of clean, renewable energy on the grounds of the airport.
