Abstract: Airports hold a critical role in the success of the air transport systems' transition to net zero greenhouse gas emissions. As airport net zero targets and plans are released, it is necessary to establish their alignment with current best practice. A net zero for airports framework is developed through literature review incorporating sector-specific themes of importance. Publicly available net zero and sustainability documents of 14 UK airport organisations are reviewed against the framework. Most strategies align with best practice in terms of ‘approach’: prioritising emission reduction, describing implementation plans, and demonstrating immediate implementation.
