Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA) has announced on Tuesday its new goal to become the first
and leading low carbon airport in Taiwan.
The decision came at a time when the airport has seen significant growth in passenger numbers, with total passenger traffic reaching 42 million by the end of 2016, which is on par with other international airports such as Singapore’s Changi Airport, Hong Kong International Airport, and South Korea’s Incheon International Airport.
The large increase in passenger traffic has moved the airport up to the ACI’s top evaluation category by size. (the over 40 million passengers per annum category).
ACI, or Airports Council International, is the only global trade representative of the world’s airports. [FULL STORY]
