Where expansion is unavoidable, operators like Aena, San Diego International, and YVR design in efficiency, renewables, and modularity from the start. However, Scope 3 emissions, dominated by flights, remain the biggest challenge, with aviation accounting for roughly 2.5% of global carbon emissions.
