Porto Santo Airport

Located in the archipelago of Madeira, just five minutes outside the city centre of Porto Santo, the airport is a modern structure that primarily handles tourist traffic. In April 2015, the airport was awarded Level 2 Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA), the international initiative to reduce the carbon footprint of airports.

In 2021, VINCI Airports, ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, and the Regional Government of Madeira formalized the partnership protocol for the plantation of trees in Porto Santo Island, with a visit to the land granted by IFCN for the plantation of 500 trees.

In 2023, Porto Santo Airport obtained ACA 4+ certification, the highest in the ACI’s environmental assessment programme. VINCI Airports received this environmental certification for all airports in Portugal, becoming the first country in the European Union to have its entire airport system (10 airports) certified ACA 4+. This certification recognises that airports have fully accounted and reported direct and indirect CO2 emissions related to their activities and operations, have significantly reduced their direct emissions, offset their residual direct emissions and started to reduce their indirect emissions.
