NAC achieves airport carbon accreditation

The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) has reached a significant milestone in its sustainability journey, with Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA) and Walvis Bay International Airport attaining Level 1 Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA). The NAC formally received the ACA Level 1 certificates from the Airports Council International (ACI) Africa in March 2026.Airport Carbon Accreditation is a globally recognised programme that independently assesses and acknowledges airports for their efforts to manage and reduce carbon emissions. Achieving Level 1 indicates that these airports have successfully measured and compiled their carbon footprints, thereby establishing a foundation for long-term carbon management strategies. Furthermore, it signifies that the NAC has taken a critical first step towards implementing targeted carbon reduction initiatives and enhancing operational efficiency.This milestone underscores the NAC’s commitment to aligning its operations with international environmental standards and best practices. It also reflects the organisation’s broader vision of becoming a world-class airport operator that balances growth with sustainability, while positioning Namibia as an environmentally responsible player in global aviation.In pursuit of this vision, the NAC continues to integrate environmental considerations into airport management, infrastructure development, and stakeholder engagement. The company is now well-positioned to progress through higher levels of accreditation—including carbon reduction and optimisation—with the ultimate goal of achieving and maintaining Net Zero Emissions by 2050.Globally, there are 648 accredited airports, 47 of which are located across 19 African countries. The inclusion of Hosea Kutako and Walvis Bay contributes to the growing number of accredited airports on the continent, reinforcing Africa’s role in advancing sustainable aviation practices.
