Show and Tell: Featuring C&S and Steer
In October, C&S Companies and Steer Group announced the launch of AirportNetZero.com, a first-of-its-kind partnership to enable rapid greenhouse gas emission reductions at airports. Both the U.S. Department of Transportation and Airports Council International have set goals to achieve net-zero emissions from the U.S. aviation sector by 2050. In support of that goal, C&S and Steer have joined forces to provide the airport industry with a unique, full-service offering for net-zero strategy, planning, and project implementation.
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
