The Avia Solutions Group member, which provides aviation services at 15 airports across the Nordics, has been electrifying its GSE fleet and replacing fossil fuels with sustainable alternatives.
In Sweden, 65% of its GSE fleet is electric and the proportion will keep increasing.
At Malmö Airport, Aviator has used only hydrotreated vegetable oil fuels since 2021, Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport went fossil-free at the start of 2023 and Stockholm Arlanda Airport is at 85% with the target of going fossil-free by the end of 2024.
Jo Alex Tanem, CEO of Aviator Airport Alliance, said: “As a group, we have a strategic target of net-zero emissions for our operations by 2030, with an even more ambitious goal of reaching carbon neutral by 2026. We firmly believe that by incorporating sustainable fuel into our operations and transitioning our Ground Support Equipment (GSE) fleet to electric power, we can confidently accomplish this objective.”
Tanem added that eliminating fossil fuels from operations is not the only way to go green with Aviator focusing on performing fully green turnarounds.
“In 2021, we performed our first all-electric turnarounds for Ryanair and Norwegian at Arlanda Airport, and at the beginning of this summer, we completed the first all-electric turnaround for Lufthansa at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport. Each time we complete such tasks, we feel proud to be able to serve our clients with integrity and sustainability on our minds,” said Tanem.
