Pro-environmental work
Malmö Airport’s mission is to meet passenger and freight requirements among the region’s local community and business sector. In 2010, more than 1.5 million passengers used the airport. Malmö Airport works within several areas to minimise the environmental footprint caused by its operations. A reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is one of the areas in focus. Between 2005 and 2009, carbon dioxide emissions were cut by more than 80%. Swedavia has a zero vision for its operational emissions at the airport.
