Since 2021, Tarbes Lourdes Pyrénées Airport has been awarded the Aérobiodiversité Level 1 label. It hosts 275 plant species, 64 birds, and 155 insects thanks to its numerous green spaces. Measures such as night-time mowing and invasive species management are in place. The airport uses pollinator nesting boxes, invertebrate counting boards, and bat recorders for the Vigie-Chiro protocol to collect data on these animals.
A project funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Société d’Exploitation Locale Aéroportuaire Régionale (SEALAR) enabled Tarbes Airport to replace diesel generator sets with 400 hertz converters at 6 stands, thereby reducing non-road diesel consumption by 50%. The project also includes the purchase of electric airside equipment and the replacement of airfield equipment to reduce consumption.
The Tarbes airport measures its monthly electricity, gas, and fuel consumption. The lighting is gradually being replaced with LEDs; an automatic detection system and modernised heating have been installed in the terminal building. Building insulation has been improved with a solar film that rejects infrared and UV rays.
Tarbes Airport has a waste-sorting and recycling policy covering household waste, paper, cardboard, wood, textiles and green waste. Non-hazardous waste is recycled, while hazardous waste is handled through specialised treatment streams. Regular awareness-raising and inspections are in place for staff. A dedicated system collects and recycles cigarette butts through Eco-Mégôt, a company based in Bordeaux, which also provides treatment reports.
Photovoltaic canopies have been in place in the airport's Parking areas since 20 July 2023 , a project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Tarbes is a city well worth the trip. Situated at the gateway to the mountains and at the foot of the ski resorts, it offers sweeping views of the Pyrenees. Argelès-Gazost, Gourette and La Mongie provide all the pleasures of winter sports about 30 minutes away. So book a flight for your trip to Tarbes and come and discover the Cathedral of La Sède and the Church of Saint John. The Jardin Massey and its fourteen hectares of English-style parkland invite you to enjoy an unusual visit with a distinctly British flavour. As the birthplace of Marshal Foch, Tarbes invites you to make a « pilgrimage » to his house before admiring the National Stud and its spirited thoroughbreds. The sanctuaries of Notre Dame de Lourdes are the crowning glory of the region’s places of worship: the Grotte de Massabielle and the Basilicas of Notre-Dame du Rosaire and the Immaculée Conception occupy a 51-hectare site intended to welcome pilgrims. If, like them, you enjoy caves, you are in luck: they abound in the Adour region! But if you prefer a cosy bed for your holiday, you can book a hotel room in Tarbes or the surrounding area right now.
