Environment

Airport Carbon Accreditation

Level 4 Zürich Airport holds Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 4 (status checked October 2026), according to the programme's public list.

A certification of how the airport operator manages its own carbon emissions (levels 1–5, "+" = with offsetting). It is not a measure of how much the airport or its flights emit.

Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACI)

Aircraft noise exposure

Counts only residents OUTSIDE large urban areas ("agglomerations"). People inside a city who hear the same airport are reported in the city's own noise map and are included in the national total, not here.

0 people living outside large urban areas around Zürich Airport were exposed to aircraft noise of 55 dB Lden or more, and 0 to 50 dB or more at night, according to the European Environment Agency (Environmental Noise Directive, 2022 reporting round).

Recorded outcomes

  • On time 86.9% 206
  • Delayed >15 min 9.3% 22
  • Cancelled 3.8% 9
  • Missing departure time 0.0% 0

All recorded flights with a known scheduled local time, counted once. Missing actual times are shown separately.

On time means departing no more than 15 minutes after schedule. Cancelled flights and flights missing departure times are excluded from the on-time rate and average delay.
