AIRPORT AIR POLLUTION

Malé International Airport as one of the busiest airports in the region, serving its passengers and airport users, endeavours to help reduce greenhouse gas and from forming pollutant emissions from the site. We are doing our best to cope with the environment issues while serving the needs of flying passengers from one destination to the other. We do our best to keep the vehicles used at the airport, such as ground access vehicles (GAVs) – vehicles such as passenger buses and , ground support equipment (GSE) used in the airport, such as for aircraft towing, to be kept best serviced and without polluting the airport areas. At the same time we humbly request and advice the airport users such as airlines, tour operators, etc. to do the same for the sake of our vulnerable environmental concerns. We believe that as an airport we have to keep certain areas treeless and clear of wildlife. We do our best to keep those untouched as much as possible and without harming the environment. But if there is a concern for the damage to the aircraft or losing human lives we cannot help but to chase the animals which might cause a hazard to the safety of aircraft and passengers.

Male’ International Airport will carry out a tree planting programme on the World Environment Day.
