Flexjet achieves carbon-neutral flight operations through 4AIR cooperation

• Emphasize Flexjet’s commitment to environmental sustainability
• Flexjet offset owners with verified carbon offset credits fly with 100% CO2 emissions
• The purchase of carbon credits through 4AIR in January offsets U.S. flight emissions
• The company is expected to offset 400,000 metric tons of carbon by the end of 2021

Flexjet LLCThe global leader in private jet travel, today announced 4AIR, This is the first and only rating system for the overall sustainability of private aviation. Since January 2021, Flexjet has been purchasing credits to offset the carbon emissions of all flights booked by its US aircraft owners. With 4AIR’s expertise and assistance, Flexjet’s validated credit lines will fund carbon offset projects that will offset the impact of emissions from its aircraft without paying any additional fees to the owner.

Michael Silvestro, CEO of Flexjet, said: “Flexjet has always been a leader in applying innovation to its operations, and our cooperation with 4AIR brings the same spirit into environmental protection.” “In supporting global carbon offset projects, Flexjet can Let you rest assured that today’s efforts are having a direct positive impact on the environment.”

Although some major private aviation providers have passed the financial burden of carbon offsets to their customers, Flexjet has assumed this financial responsibility. In fact, in January, Flexjet began to offset 100% of the CO2 emissions from all its US-based aircraft to its owners-including emissions from the company’s in-house airline Project Lift, which transferred Flexjet pilots to its flight missions in.

The completion of this offset printing process did not incur any additional costs for Flexjet owners. The company is expected to offset 400,000 tons of carbon by the end of 2021. This will have a direct impact on the environment, not in the next ten years.

And because Flexjet believes that sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is an important part of addressing the problem of global warming, the company is working with 4AIR to provide ship owners with the option of using SAF on their available flights to upgrade their sustainability commitments.

By offsetting all flights and providing SAF, Flexjet has taken immediate measures to minimize shipowners’ environmental impact while enabling them to support future sustainable technologies.

The industry-leading certified carbon offsets purchased through 4AIR support six projects including solar, wind and forestry programs. One example is the Kukstoff project in Rwanda, which distributes fuel-efficient cookware to families living in rural Rwandan communities who cook under an open fire at home. Using these stoves instead of open flames, households will reduce the consumption of wood and coal, reduce the fuel collection time they have to spend (in some cases hours per day), reduce dangerous air pollutants released into the house and reduce carbon dioxide emissions Production-the main cause of global warming.

Flexjet chose 4AIR to manage the offset, standard, verification, confirmation and return of carbon credits through the most respected international leading institution that issues and register credits.

The benchmarks provided by the 4AIR rating framework are consistent with the carbon emission reduction targets of the entire industry and consistent with international standards. The framework provides various levels, each with specific, science-based goals, independently verified results, and an increasing impact on sustainability. In 2021, Flexjet promises to reach the 4AIR Bronze level, according to which its flight operations will offset all its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through verified carbon offset credits, thereby achieving carbon neutrality.

About Flexjet

Flexjet first entered the partial jet ownership market in 1995. Flexjet provides partial jet ownership and leasing. Flexjet’s Fractional Aircraft Program is the first aircraft in the world to be recognized as meeting the industry audit standards of the Aviation Charter Safety Foundation. It is the first and only aircraft that has won 22 FAA Diamond Excellence Awards, maintaining ARG/US platinum safety Grade and conform to IS-BAO’s Level 2 standard. Flexjet’s sub-program provides a series of proprietary business jets, some of which are the youngest business jets in the business jet field, with an average age of about 6 years. In 2015, Flexjet launched Redjet by Flexjet, which has the youngest fleet in the industry, a crew dedicated to serving an aircraft, and the LXi cabin interior series. To date, its fleet has more than 40 different interior designs, including Embraer’s Phenom 300, Legacy 450 and Praetor 500, Bombardier Challenger 350, Gulfstream G450, G500, G650 and G700, and Aerion AS2 supersonic business jet .

About the 4AIR scoring program

This 4AIR rating – The first and only rating system that focuses on the overall sustainable development of private aviation, allowing you to go beyond carbon neutrality – provides understandable benchmarks that are consistent with the goals of the entire industry and consistent with international standards. This allows private aviation users to evaluate the comprehensiveness of their own sustainability plans or private aviation sustainability plans available on the market. The 4AIR framework provides four levels of continuous development:

4AIR bronze: Carbon Neutral

4AIR Bronze offsets all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through verified carbon offset credits, thereby enabling participants to achieve carbon neutrality.

4AIR silver: Neutral emission

Two-thirds of the aircraft’s environmental impact comes from non-CO2 warming pollutants, such as water vapor, soot and condensation trails. 4AIR Silver enables participants to completely neutralize emissions and compensate for non-CO2 impacts through proven compensation.

4AIR gold: Emission reduction

4AIR Gold allows participants to go beyond emission neutrality and reduce emissions by at least 5% through solutions such as the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or the purchase of SAF points through 4AIR.

4AIR Platinum: Climate Champion

4AIR Platinum allows participants to donate to the Aviation Climate Fund to support new aviation technologies and aims to support aviation sustainability research and development.

About 4AIR

4AIR is an industry pioneer, not only providing simple carbon neutrality, but also sustainable development solutions. Its industry-leading framework is designed to address all types of climate impacts and provide private aviation industry participants with simplified and verifiable pathways to achieve meaningful aircraft emissions offsets and reductions.

The 4AIR framework provides four levels. Each level has specific, science-based goals, independently verified results, and an increasing impact on sustainability. This allows private aviation users to easily enter the carbon market. Use sustainable aviation fuel and support aircraft to pursue sustainability. New technologies and other strategies.

All carbon credits conducted through 4AIR are quantified and verified by the most respected international leading institutions that issue and register credits, including U.S. Carbon Registry, Climate Action Reserve, Proven carbon standards (VERRA) and Gold standard. In addition, the year-end commitment review is independently verified by a third party. 4AIR has also worked with the World Economic Forum’s Demand Signaling Working Group to A clean sky for the alliance of tomorrow.
