KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 (Bernama) -- NetJets, the leader in private aviation with more than 760 aircraft worldwide, has celebrated the first anniversary of its Global Sustainability Program by sharing last year’s progress update and highlights.
“The last year has seen some really exciting advancements for NetJets in our sustainability efforts,” said Executive Vice President of Administrative Services, Brad Ferrell in a statement.
“We’re energised to see our peers in the private and commercial sectors making sustainability commitments of their own. In the years to come, NetJets looks forward to being at the forefront of sustainable aviation fuel and other initiatives that will keep our industry at the cutting-edge.”
Among others, earlier this year, NetJets invested in the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through a deal with WasteFuel, which includes an offtake of 100 million gallons of SAF over the next decade.
NetJets also saw a 71 per cent increase in Blue Skies® enrolment, which encourages Owners worldwide to take responsibility for the environmental impact of their flight by seamlessly purchasing the equivalent amount of carbon credits to ensure their flight activity is carbon neutral.
Meanwhile, the following global metrics outline the results of these and other collective sustainability efforts over the last year, including over 751,000 gallons of SAF uplifted; 2.5 million nautical miles flown with SAF; and, approximately US$100,000 in CO2 offset by NetJets admin and training flights. (US$1 = RM4.147)
A subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, NetJets aligns its Global Sustainability Program with the holding company’s commitment to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
