What are Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs)?
Learn more about Sustainable Aviation Fuels and the work of FirstJets for a more sustainable and greener private jet aviation industry.
We are facing the climate challenges
Climate change is real and mobility providers around the world are challenged to become a part of the solution. At FirstJets, sustainability has been part of our DNA since inception. We openly discuss our latest thinking on sustainability, accept and appreciate challenging thoughts and conversations and have the responsibility we carry top of mind when taking business decisions.
Innovation ensures a green future for private aviation
We at FirstJets are aware of the responsibility we all have towards our planet. While (per single passenger) flying privately generates higher emissions than scheduled passenger flights, we believe that the intense research on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will enable a more sustainable future while satisfying the growing demand for private jet flights.
This is what we do
FirstJets has partnered with 4Air to provide our customers with four different levels of sustainability commitments
Carbon Neutral: 100% carbon dioxide offsets to offset CO2 effects
Emissions Neutral: 300% carbon dioxide offsets to offset CO2 and non-CO2 effects
Beyond Neutral: 5% direct emissions reduction via SAF
Climate Champion: Contribution to the Aviation Climate Fund
Here’s what you can do
All our clients can opt for one of four levels of sustainability commitments enabled by our partner 4Air, including the ability to purchase offsets, SAF, or make contributions to sustainable aviation research.
Being early is good for the planet
Booking early (whenever possible) allows our partners and us to avoid empty leg flights as much as possible. Reducing the number of empty private jet flights represents a key pillar of a more sustainable future for private jet chartering.
Sharing feedback and discussing ideas is key
As part of the FirstJets community, please feel invited to share your thoughts and concerns on our operations, also when it comes to sustainability. We are always happy to learn from our clients and discuss new ideas on how to become an even more sustainable private jet charter broker.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) are the gateway towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future of private jet flights. SAFs are sustainably produced fuels that are not based on fossil fuels. Already today, it is possible to cross the Atlantic using non-fossil aviation fuels while not compromising on speed, comfort or security. Increased research and support from the entire private jet aviation community will help reduce the production costs and drive broad adoption of SAFs across the world.
