Seeds of Sustainability

Through innovation, efficiency, and concrete projects, we work to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

An essential and constant commitment that guides every choice we make towards an increasingly sustainable, efficient, and responsible airport.

Over the past two years, Umbria Airport – Perugia ‘San Francesco d’Assisi’ has embarked on a journey of investments aimed at energy efficiency and sustainability, both environmental and social.
