Sustainable Airports Gathering Program

Sustainable Airports Gathering
- Building the World’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bridges
Airports are no longer merely transport hubs; they are becoming pivotal nodes in the global energy transition. However, airports across regions continue to face shared challenges, including ageing infrastructure, fragmented cross-border logistics standards, and the high cost of retrofitting existing systems.

The Sustainable Airports Gathering series is designed to convene
20+ regional and global airports, creating a focused platform for in-depth dialogue and collaboration. Through a three-pronged approach - initiative signing ceremonies, closed-door roundtables, and strategic panel discussion - the programme aims to address regional barriers across policy, strategy, and technology.

Beyond discussions on SAF refuelling readiness, the Gathering will explore how airports can collectively establish a
transparent, efficient, and resilient fuel supply corridor, supporting the long-term scale-up of sustainable aviation across the Asia-Pacific region.
