In a significant leap towards sustainable aviation, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and Aeroportos de Portugal (ANA) have cemented a €50 million finance contract aimed at reducing carbon emissions across nine airports in mainland Portugal and the Portuguese islands.

This collaboration, which falls squarely under the EIB’s climate action and environmental sustainability mandate, is not just a substantial investment but a bold statement about the future of airport infrastructure.

The financial backing from the EIB is part of a larger €100 million sustainability initiative spearheaded by ANA, a subsidiary of VINCI Airports. The programme is meticulously designed to drive ANA’s ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality in its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. This initiative also extends its benefits to the transition of ANA’s partners, fostering a broader industry shift towards greener practices.
