Private aircraft operator ASL Group and Azzera, an organization focused on sustainability solutions, have announced a collaborative initiative for an online sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) credit book-and-claim system, which both companies say will have an impact on reducing carbon footprints.
Using Azzera's Celeste platform, ASL Group will automate the booking of SAF credits for its clients. The company anticipates that this will help the process of offsetting emissions from flights.
"Our partnership with Azzera is a game-changer in our sustainability initiatives," said Johan Maertens, co-CEO of ASL Group. "It will definitely contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of our operations. This aligns perfectly with our ethos of promoting sustainable practices in aviation."
The companies say that Celeste will allow ASL Group to acquire SAF credits directly, with Azzera overseeing the process to ensure compliance and acquire the necessary certification.
“At the end of each year, Azzera submits all SAF transactions for third-party audit, ensuring accountability and transparency in our sustainability commitments,” added Azzera CEO Puja Mahajan. “Sustainable aviation fuel needs pioneers like ASL Group to accelerate the decarbonization of aviation.”
ASL Group is based in Dublin, Ireland, and operates a fleet of 45 aircraft.
