I am looking forward to seeing the positive change this programme will bring to Galapagos Ecological Airport’s products and services”. “Galapagos Ecological Airport is one of a kind”, said Mr. Rosillo, “We have been working to be the best in our category, and can proudly state that we have achieved our goal of becoming the first ecological airport in the world, as well as being only one step away from becoming certified as carbon neutral, by Airport Carbon Accreditation”. “We cannot stop there”, said Ezequiel Barrenechea, Director of Corporacion America.”We have to continue this committment to our passengers and our employees. That is why we decided to join the ACI ASQ programme. We are looking forward to achieving this new target, to give our best to our community and visitors, and also because we believe that ecology can coexist with excellent service. This is what a green airport is all about, the best service with the minimum impact on the environment”. |
