Helsinki Airport, operated by Finnish airport operator Finavia, has been verified through the international Airport Carbon Accreditation programme to have achieved the goal of net-zero emissions, becoming the fifth airport in the group to receive this certification. The programme has seven levels, with the highest Level 5 requiring airports to achieve at least a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and commit to reaching net-zero in Scope 3 emissions by 2050. Currently, more than 640 airports worldwide are participating in the programme, and only about 20 have obtained net-zero certification, 5 of which are Finavia's airports. Emissions at Helsinki Airport mainly come from energy consumption of infrastructure. It has achieved emission reduction by fully using renewable or carbon-free energy, and plans to have all 20 of its airports reach net-zero emissions by the end of 2025.
Swissport plans to invest over 15 billion euros in environmental protection technologies over the next five years, including electric ground support equipment (GSE) and renewable energy, in order to achieve the goal of 55% GSE electrification by 2032. The company currently has the world's largest GSE fleet (approximately 14,500 units), with an electrification rate of 25%. Over the past 18 months, it has purchased over 1,000 hybrid and electric equipment and deployed them in 28 countries. It also collaborates with top manufacturers to ensure the performance of the equipment, contributing to emission reduction and the climate goals of airline customers.
Mallaghan’s SkyBelt electric belt loader has been named Product Leader of the Year 2025 by Ground Support Worldwide, recognizing its sustainability, efficiency, and adoption at major airports. This follows another recent win—the Manufacturing Future Award—for Mallaghan’s apprentice training initiatives. CEO Ronan Mallaghan highlights the company’s dual focus on innovation and talent development, reinforcing its leadership in aviation ground support solutions.
The Lithium SAFEFlex lithium battery solution of Green Cubes Technology is leading the green transformation of airport Ground service equipment (GSE). This solution adopts lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology, featuring high safety, long service life and wide temperature adaptability (-40°C to + 50°C). It is adapted to the high-frequency operation requirements of airports through IP65 protection design and intelligent interconnection functions (CANBus, IoT). Compared with traditional fuel equipment, its carbon emissions are significantly reduced. At the same time, it supports multi-voltage customization solutions (20-96 volts), and the charging efficiency is increased by 50%. It has been widely applied in luggage trailers, cargo loaders and other equipment. As the global aviation industry accelerates its pursuit of sustainable development goals, SAFEFlex technology has become a key driving force for the electrification of airport infrastructure by empowering clean and efficient grou
