Textron Aviation has announced a new carbon offset programme, SustainableAdvantage, to provide owners with an additional option for reducing their carbon dioxide emissions from operating aircraft.
In collaboration with 4AIR, the programme is set to launch in January 2024 and is available to eligible customers who own and operate Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker turbine aircraft worldwide.
Beechcraft, Cessna and Hawker customers receive factory-direct support, maintenance and modifications by Textron Aviation through its global network of service and part centers, mobile service units and 24/7 1CALL AOG support.
“Owners have increasingly become interested in solutions that mitigate the carbon footprint of operating their aircraft,” said Brad White, senior vice president, Global Parts and Programs, Textron Aviation.
“SustainableAdvantage provides them the opportunity to have a seamless option to offset their carbon emissions through a Textron Aviation approved programme and supplier.”
Carbon offset scheme
Textron Aviation will administer SustainableAdvantage as part of its easy-to-use array of ProAdvantage programmes and connect owners to 4AIR. 4AIR is the first company to offer comprehensive sustainability solutions for business aviation.
SustainableAdvantage will offer owners the option to offset their aircraft emissions footprint with 4AIR’s Bronze Level. Carbon offsets reduce emissions elsewhere which can be claimed against the carbon footprint from operating aircraft.
“Our relationship with Textron Aviation acknowledges the many strides we have made in the industry to make sustainability more accessible,” said Nancy Bsales, chief operating officer, 4AIR. “We are excited to provide Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker owners with sustainable solutions that address and meet their environmental commitments and goals.”
