Business aviation’s global CO2 emissions are approximately 2% of all aviation and only 0.04% of global man-made carbon emissions. One reason to this is that business aircraft are operated for specific missions and fly efficient, direct routes between airports. On the other hand, modern navigation equipment, combined with the latest technologies in aircraft and engine design and operational best practices, provide for ever-improving fuel efficiency and reduced GHG emissions.

Jetflite takes action

Nonetheless, Jetflite has already taken steps to further reduce the relatively small carbon footprint of its operations. First of all, we will participate in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme starting in the beginning of 2010. Second, we will optimize the flight planning and procedures in such manner that the fuel consumption of our jets will be minimized. Other measures are also in process - they will be published here once they are set up.

In all, Jetflite recognizes its share of responsibility in slowing down the climate change and we are committed to take all measures possible to minimize our footprint. As part of the European business aviation community we will contribute to achieving the following specific targets:

  • Carbon-neutral growth by 2020
  • An improvement in fuel efficiency of an average of 2% per year from today until 2020
  • A reduction in total CO2 emissions by 50% by 2050 relative to 2005.
