Climate change and global warming are common problems that require collective action. The aviation sector has an undeniable impact on these problems, and the concept of sustainability has become a prominent element in the aviation sector. Sustainable airport development brings positive external effects such as reduction of energy consumption, reduction of negative impacts on water and air quality, waste minimization, and decreasing negative environmental impacts of airport construction. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 13% of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the aviation sector, making green airports the most logical choice for sustainable development. The air transportation sector should act responsibly to balance economic development, social progress, and environmental responsibility. To do this, airports have started to pay attention to sustainability by placing the issue of sustainability at the focus point. Airports Council International (ACI) and ICAO work on common projects to create infrastructures that target the ecological planning in airports, distribute land use plans based on this issue, and form an appropriate system for airport managements. Green building applications are increasing at bio-center-oriented green airports operating with an environmentally sensitive management approach, contributing to the ecosystem by improving water quality, increasing biodiversity, conserving natural resources, and minimizing environmental effects.
