Glasgow, Glasgow Prestwick and Edinburgh Airports were at the heart of the UK’s largest ever diplomatic security operation as they welcomed hundreds of international delegates to the COP26 conference in Glasgow.
During the COP26 meeting Air bp supplied Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to Glasgow, Glasgow Prestwick and Edinburgh airports. It also collaborated with British Airways to source SAF for all its flights between London, Glasgow and Edinburgh during the summit. SAF was also used for all EasyJet flights from Gatwick to Glasgow during the meeting.
AGS Airports CEO, Derek Provan, was centre stage at the COP26 Climate Action Hub when he announced plans for a solar farm at Glasgow Airport. The initiative will give the airport the capability to generate enough power for the entire airport campus and neighbouring businesses – equivalent to powering 20% of homes in the city of Glasgow.
