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
1. The FirstJets team has committed to donate 2% of its annual earnings to globally leading SAF research groups. Instead of restricting air travel, our aspiration is to work on a growing private jet sector that is heavily relying on sustainable aviation fuel solutions.
2. We continuously monitor the sustainability efforts of all our partners and suppliers. We start small by having banned all non-perishable plastic appliances in our offices.
Here’s what you can do
All our clients can opt for offsetting their carbon footprint for each private jet flight. Our partners provide different options to match each and everyone’s preferences. Our collaborations ensure our sustainability efforts are cutting edge and meeting the highest industry standard.
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 reducing the production costs and drive broad adoption of SAFs across the world.
