The accreditation, confirmed through certificates issued by Airport Carbon Accreditation and independent verifier ‘Wise and Wiser Thailand’, is valid until Oct 3, 2026.
According to the certification, Phuket Airport ‒ operated by Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AoT) ‒ has demonstrated successful implementation of a structured carbon-management system, including the mapping of emissions and evidence of actual reductions.
The ACA programme, administered by Airports Council International (ACI), is the only institutionally endorsed global standard for carbon management at airports.
Verification documents for the 2023 reporting year show the airport produced 2,248.86 tonnes CO₂-equivalent in Scope 1 emissions and 22,896.86 tonnes CO₂-equivalent in Scope 2 emissions. Both were assessed at a “reasonable level” of assurance.
AoT Phuket reported that the airport has introduced a range of measures to reduce emissions, including improving the energy efficiency of operational buildings, upgrading air-conditioning and lighting systems, managing fuel and energy use more effectively, and encouraging airlines, concessionaires and other operators to participate in carbon-reduction efforts.
“These efforts align with AoT’s broader sustainability strategy and its commitment to advancing Thailand’s aviation sector toward a Net Zero Emissions future,’ AoT Phuket said in a statement.
Phuket Airport officials also stated that further carbon-reduction initiatives will continue as part of ongoing work to support environmentally responsible airport operations and long-term industry sustainability.
