NBAA Honors Latest Sustainable Flight Department Members

NBAA has announced the latest batch of aircraft operators that have achieved recognition in the organization’s recently established Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation Program. The program offers four separate areas of focus: flight, ground support, operations, and infrastructure. Participants can apply for accreditation in any or all of these areas. Not limited to flight departments, the program aims to provide a framework of industry best practices in support of sustainable flight operations.

The first recipients were announced in November. They are now joined by American Express Corporate Aviation (flight, operations); The Boeing Co. (flight); Coca-Cola Co. (flight); Cox Aviation (flight); Dell Technologies Corporate Aviation (flight); Dow Aviation (flight, operations, ground support, infrastructure); Gulfstream Aerospace (flight, operations, ground support, infrastructure); and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (flight). Several other companies that wished to remain anonymous also received accreditation.

“Through programs such as NBAA’s Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation Program, business aviation is taking concrete, measurable steps to address climate change,” noted NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “We commend the companies who have worked hard to achieve this accreditation and strive to create a more sustainable future for business aviation.”
