Hamad International Airport (HIA), in its mission to preserve Qatar’s environment by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing and recycling waste, managing noise, and controlling emissions to air and water; has implemented several sustainability initiatives since its inception. These initiatives have often been developed in collaboration with national stakeholders and contribute to the environmental development pillar of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Since 2014, HIA has demonstrated its commitment to environmental sustainability by pledging to improve carbon efficiency per traffic unit to 30% by 2030. The airport has since established a continual decrease in overall CO2 emissions and has been certified at Level 3 by the Airport Council International’s Airport Carbon Accreditation programme.

In a letter to the commandant-general of the corps signed by P.O. Egbodo, director of joint services, the ministry said the directive was as a result of looming threat of attack on airports.
Earlier in April, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
had warned that it received an alert from the ministry of aviation over planned attacks on airports across the country.
The airports listed were those in Kaduna, Maiduguri, Sokoto, Kano, Abuja, Lagos, among others.
