“Vienna Airport is expanding in all areas. Revenue and earnings increased considerably, the Airport City is growing, and we are making extensive investments in modernising the infrastructure. However, we are growing in a responsible manner. Since 2011 we have succeeded in reducing CO2 emissions by about 70 per cent per traffic unit and energy consumption by 40 per cent. Vienna Airport will be CO2 neutral by the year 2030, in spite of further growth in flight traffic and at the flight hub”, explains Günther Ofner, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
