The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced on Tuesday that the Iloilo Provincial Council recognized Iloilo International Airport through Resolution No. 2023-744, or the "Resolution Congratulating the Officers and Employees of the Iloilo International Airport for having been awarded and certified as ISO 14001:2015 or the Environmental Management System Certificate by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as presented by the Bureau Veritas."

CAAP said that the airport was awarded the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System (EMS) Certification by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and international certification body Bureau Veritas for its sustainable airport operations and practices on 14 September 2023.

Airport manager Manuela Luisa Palma and CAAP Civil Aviation Area Center 6 manager Engr. Eusebio "Joebon" Monserate thanked the CAAP administration, the Iloilo city and provincial governments, and the whole airport staff for their continuing assistance in making the achievement possible.

Airports that are ISO 14001 compliant are allowed for improved and more efficient resource management. They are also allowed to create a more sustainable infrastructure for their travelers.

In order to set an example for other airports to follow and advance a greener and more sustainable future for Philippine aviation, CAAP will continue to align its operations with worldwide environmental standards.
