In recognition of Earth Day on April 22, Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD) is celebrating a major sustainability milestone with the achievement of Level 2 Airport Carbon Accreditation for Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA).

The Airport Carbon Accreditation’s carbon management certification was developed by Airports Council International (ACI) and is the only globally recognized program for airports. There are five accreditation levels in total with each level representing a more advanced stage of carbon management and emissions reduction.

At Level 2, airports are recognized for having mapped and measured their carbon footprint and demonstrated a reduction in carbon emissions through active carbon management initiatives. This latest achievement confirms that LPIA has successfully built on the work completed under the Level 1 accreditation achieved in December 2020 and has implemented measures to further reduce overall carbon emissions.

“As we pause to celebrate Earth Day, we are reminded that sustainability must remain a top priority across all industries including aviation,” said Vernice Walkine, President & CEO of NAD.

“Achieving Level 2 Airport Carbon Accreditation is an important milestone for LPIA and reflects our continued commitment to operating responsibly while supporting the growth of air lift in The Bahamas. We recognize that sustainability is not a one-time effort, but an ongoing part of how we operate, invest and plan for the future. Our focus is on achieving the top level and we are well on our way.”

Rafael Echevarne, Director General of ACI-LAC, said, “LPIA’s achievement of Level 2 Airport Carbon Accreditation is a clear example of how airports in Latin America and the Caribbean are turning sustainability commitments into measurable progress.”

He continued: “On Earth Day, we celebrate this milestone as part of a broader journey toward decarbonization, reinforcing Latin America and the Caribbean’s role as a leader in building a more sustainable future for aviation.”

LPIA’s Level 2 accreditation is valid through November 12, 2026. The certification recognizes the airport’s work to measure and reduce carbon emissions as part of the global airport industry’s response to climate change. This latest achievement is part of NAD’s wider commitment to sustainable and responsible growth now and in the future.
