Finavia Sustainability and Environment vice-president Mikko Viinikainen said: “Finavia’s operations at all its airports have been carbon neutral since 2019.

“We have taken practical measures and we have been able to reduce carbon emissions by 64% compared to ten years ago. Next, we aim for our airports to have net zero emissions.

“Finavia will reduce its carbon emissions as low as is technologically and financially feasible, meaning very close to zero. Our objective is to reduce our carbon emissions by 98% over the next three years. At net zero level, there will still remain a couple of per cent points worth of emissions.”

The airport operator initially aims to achieve the net zero goal as early as next year across its four airports in Lapland: Rovaniemi, Kittilä, Ivalo, as well as Kuusamo, which will be followed by Helsinki Airport.
