Menzies Aviation, the leading service partner to the world's airports and airlines, has successfully installed hundreds of solar panels at its cargo facility at Prague Airport (PRG), saving almost 140 tonnes of Co2 each year. The solar panels have been installed at the 14,000 square-metre cargo warehouse, a neighbouring administrative building and on the building's façade. This isn't a glimpse into the distant future – it's happening right now across the globe.

Why should Airports install solar panels?
The aviation industry faces mounting pressure to reduce its environmental impact, with ground operations presenting an immediate opportunity for meaningful change. Solar installations at airports serve multiple purposes: they reduce operational costs, provide energy independence, and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability.
How do airports use solar power?
From India to Australia, California to Germany, airports are installing vast solar arrays across terminal rooftops, parking structures, and unused land. These installations range from supplementary power sources to full-scale systems capable of meeting an airport's entire energy demand.
How do solar panels improve aviation safety?
Improved Technology: Solar panels with advanced anti-glare coatings meet aviation safety requirements while maximizing energy production. These systems integrate with existing airport infrastructure and utilize cutting-edge monitoring technology to optimize performance.
Are solar power systems paving the way for greener airports?
As airports around the world embrace solar energy, they are proving that large-scale renewable power systems are vital for the future of airport infrastructure. These advancements are paving the way for greener, more efficient airports globally, showcasing the transformative power of solar energy.
