Azul Handling, Ryanair's handling partner in Spain and Portugal, will now become the first carbon neutral handling company in Spain. Thanks to a €2 million investment in equipment, the airline will be able to offer zero-emission aircraft handling services at these eight major Spanish locations. This leads to an emission saving of 7,3 tons of CO1.000 per year.

This turnaround has been made possible by providing the airport with the changing infrastructure needed for electrical equipment.
