We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint. We are proud of our zero-emission equipment and work towards cutting down on the use of de-icing chemicals. We recycle and upcycle our work uniforms.
Our environmental focus areas in 2023:
Electric Ground Handling, Non-Road Diesel, Clothing recycling.
We are the first company in the Nordics to invest in zero-emission technology. 70% of our ground handling service equipment at Helsinki Airport is powered by electricity.
We switched to 100% renewable motor fuel oil at Helsinki Airport end of November 2023, leading to major emission savings.
We are pioneering in reduction of pure propylene glycol consumption in de-icing mixers, leading to signifigantly lower environmental burden.
At Helsinki Airport, Neste's refueling points switched to renewable fuel oil starting from November 27, 2023, which resulted in halving our emissions.
Our CO2 emissions mainly arise from the energy consumption of our ground handling service equipment and vehicles. Therefore, we are changing the heating units of our motorized machines to operate on a more sustainable motor fuel oil, renewable Neste MY Renewable Diesel™, at all our network airports. This work has been completed at Helsinki Airport and some of the Lapland Airports.
In 2023, we had a potential to save up to 3598 CO2 t by using electric ground handling service equipment. The same amount of emissions is caused by one person on a flight from Helsinki to Brussels. We operated on 871 turnarounds in Helsinki-Vantaa per week.
CO2 savings: 173 kg CO2

We are a pioneer in zero-emission ground handling, committed to reducing our environmental footprint. We recycle and upcycle our work uniforms.
We employed around 1,300 people in 2023 and are a major provider of entry-level jobs for young people.
The quality of our operations and the emphasis on responsibility are at the core of our actions. We maintain an open reporting culture.
