“Deer Valley and Goodyear Airports Soar to New Heights in Sustainability”

Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT) and Phoenix Goodyear Airport (GYR) have achieved a new sustainability milestone, as announced by the City of Phoenix Aviation Department. The two airports have been awarded Level 3 status in the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program for the first time, reflecting their commitment to environmental sustainability.

The Level 3 status, awarded for the reporting year 2024, is a significant achievement in the ACA program. The program is designed to encourage and recognize efforts by airports worldwide to manage and reduce their carbon emissions. Level 3 status indicates that the airports have not only tracked and reduced their carbon emissions but have also engaged third parties in their carbon management efforts.

This accomplishment underscores the ongoing commitment of the City of Phoenix Aviation Department to environmental sustainability. The recognition of DVT and GYR airports’ efforts highlights the city’s broader goals for reducing carbon emissions and fostering sustainable practices within its operations. The achievement also positions Phoenix’s airports as leaders in the global movement towards more sustainable aviation.
