Cork Airport announced it has delivered further substantial sustainability improvements across the airport campus in August, including the introduction of three new electric vehicles, a range of new, state-of-the-art electric vehicle charging points, new waste management technology, and landscaping improvements in green areas.
Cork Airport Managing Director Niall MacCarthy, said “We have a very strong sustainability plan at Cork Airport. Further electrification of our fleet, high-speed electric charging points for our passengers, smart, electronic, solar bins on our forecourt, and improving the biodiversity of our campus with an attractive planting programme are just the latest in a series of very substantial projects to be delivered. We have a detailed and ambitious sustainability plan, and I look forward to further substantial initiatives to be rolled out this year.”
To cater for increased demand for electric vehicle charging facilities at Cork Airport, six new, state-of-the-art electric vehicle charging points have been installed, in conjunction with ePower. These new charging points are available for use by passengers, and taxis servicing the airport, and airport vehicles where required.
Further improvements have also been made to the green spaces around the terminal campus, with the planting of new flowers and shrubbery along the entrance road, airport roundabouts, set-down area, airport VIP area, and adjacent to the terminal building. The works, which were undertaken by locally based Noblewood Landscapes, feature various pollinator-friendly flora which will enhance and support the biodiversity on campus.
