Operational since 1999, it made history in 2015 as the world’s first airport powered entirely by solar energy, now generating more electricity than it consumes. In addition to its solar plant, this innovative hub integrates rainwater harvesting, vertical gardens, zero-waste practices, and electric ground vehicles, proving that economic development and environmental responsibility can soar hand in hand.
