Development education at airports for Young Modern Performers

Background

Airports are small cities with an exclusive atmosphere. More than arrival and departure points, they are cosmopolitan and colored spaces. Young Modern Performers (YMPs) like to travel exclusively when it comes to long distances. Flying is a YMP’s regular activity, and also a passion. They fly for business, romance, leisure, education…so they spent a lot of their time at airports.

Some airport management companies have a sustainability strategy that can be linked to an action of development education. In its airport management role, ANA Aeroportos, which operates the airport of Lisbon, seeks to find a balance between creating value for its stakeholders, economic gain, and its social and environmental responsibilities.
