In his comments after the meetings, Dr. Markus Söder, the Bavarian State Minister for Finance, Regional Development and Home Affairs and the chairman of Munich Airport’s supervisory board, said:
With this target we are underscoring the enormous importance attached to climate protection by the airport and the Bavarian state government. We’re not just talking about it. We’re taking action and implementing innovative measures to effectively reduce emissions at the airport. Once again, Munich Airport is a trailblazer for all of Germany.
The CO2 strategy package launched today represents the continuation of the airport’s successful climate protection efforts. Airport CEO Dr. Michael Kerkloh explained the need for the measure:
As Europe’s first five-star airport, we also set very high standards for climate protection. With our far-reaching climate targets we want to help ensure that the airport’s operations and ongoing development are pursued in ways that preserve the opportunities and possibilities of future generations. With the goal of achieving carbon-neutral airport operations, we are paving the way to sustainable, resource-conserving air transportation.
