Doing our part…
for the environment
The Environment –
Important to Canadians
• The environment the “number one” issue for Canadians
(Harris-Decima, October 2007)
• 91% of Canadians believe they should “do their part” to
fight global warming (Ipsos-Reid, July 2007)
• 78% believe Canadian industry doing “only fair” or
“poor” job addressing environment issues (Environics, April 2007)
• 78% believe federal government doing “only fair” or
“poor” job addressing environment issues (Environics, April 2007)

Aviation: Canadians are paying
attention
• “Green Skies a Tall
Order”
– National Post
(June 2007)

Globally - the United States
“the havoc that
unfettered air travel was
wreaking on the world's
climate… ”

Industry Acknowledgement
“We know we contribute to climate
change, and that we need to do
something about it.”

ACI Policy on Climate Change
Adopted November 2006
A.

C.
D.
E.
Address aviation climate change impacts on a global level
A long-term strategy to reduce emissions per an ICAO roadmap,
with measured objectives to be reached by 2050
Global CO2 emissions trading – not capacity constraints, taxation
or charges
Measures and timeframe for addressing NOX and contrails/cirrus
once their impact is better understood
Airports to continue to take action on emissions within their direct
control, including technology development and design strategies

Canadian Context
Canada is a large, sparsely populated country…
•
•
•
•
Population 33 million
Second largest landmass in the world
Great distances between communities
10 major international airports, 300 smaller
airports
15

…domestic aviation still just 4.6% of transportation
emissions, 1% of all emissions

Environmental Issues:
More than just emissions
•

•
Aircraft Emissions
Airport Emissions
Noise
Recycling
Hazardous Materials
17
Environmental Issues:
More than just emissions
Noise
Efforts to shorten flight paths
through early turns upon
takeoff, which reduces fuel
and emissions, must be
reconciled with community
perceptions of increased
aircraft noise
18
Environmental Issues:
More than just emissions
Construction Practices
As part of the
construction at Toronto
Pearson Airport, 450,000
tons of concrete rubble
was crushed and used it
for road base materials
in the preparation of new
aprons.
19
Environmental Issues:
More than just emissions
Waste Disposal/Recycling
Vancouver International
Airport in 2006 recycled:
- 29% of airport terminal waste
- 24% of satellite site waste
- 91% of material from
construction projects
20
Environmental Issues:
More than just emissions
Hazardous Materials
Through new
equipment installed
at Victoria Airport,
50% less glycol is
used in de-icing
operations
21
Environmental Issues:
More than just aircraft emissions
Airport Energy Consumption
Aéroports de Montréal
between 1995 and 2006:
reduced CO2 emissions
equivalent to 1,100 cars
through energy efficient
building improvements,
switching to LED light
bulbs and new airport
shuttles

Vision
“We believe that in the future, people will continue to
be happy to fly, that aviation will not harm the
environment and that the aviation industry will be
able to grow profitably”
