President’s Update: Our Focus on Sustainability in Aviation
April 22, 2024 - From the Desk of Gregg Slow, President, FXAIR
In an era where environmental consciousness is no longer a choice but a necessity, we recognize how critical it is to do our part. Accordingly, since 2021 we have actively engaged with our sustainability partner, 4AIR, to offset 100% of the carbon emissions of your FXAIR travel at no additional cost to you. Since then, we have offset over 110,000 metric tons of CO2.
An industry leader in aviation sustainability, 4AIR secures permanent, quantifiable, independently verified carbon offsets from established groups such as Verra, the American Carbon Registry and Gold Standard. Through a stringent initial evaluation process and regular, ongoing audits, global projects such as forestry, renewable energy and new efficiencies are validated to ensure they provide actual carbon offsets, reductions or avoidances that correspond to each carbon credit.
We know there is a lot of nuanced language circulating around sustainability. By partnering with such proven and recognized industry leaders, we ensure that every carbon offset or reduction dollar spent on your behalf is rigorously traced and will fund legitimate environmental efforts that would not have taken place otherwise. Just as FXAIR only partners with the most premium aircraft operators, we similarly utilize only the most reputable and proven environmental solutions.
FXAIR and 4AIR also provide various options to take your sustainability efforts beyond just offsets. For a small additional hourly cost, you can opt up and take advantage of 4AIR’s higher sustainability ratings. Level Two, for example, offsets aviation emissions that stem from non-carbon pollutants such as water vapor, aerosols and nitrous oxides. Level Three incorporates the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) that reduces life-cycle emissions by as much as 90%, and Level Four funds the development of emerging technologies through grants and university research. Simply contact your FXAIR account manager should you want to opt-in to a higher level of participation.
In addition to making all of your FXAIR travel carbon-neutral, we can also work with 4AIR to provide you with a variety of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting solutions relating to your utilization of private aircraft. Whether you are interested in demonstrating your aviation-related sustainability efforts to employees, shareholders or board members, 4AIR can evaluate your FXAIR travel and package the data most relevant to you and your operation.
As you embark upon future travel with FXAIR, rest assured that we are working behind the scenes to maximize sustainability and are standing by to support you as needed. Thank you for your continued trust.
Warm Regards,
