Global aircraft charter broker and trip support provider Chapman Freeborn has signed a partnership with business aviation sustainability solutions provider 4Air, which will provide carbon offset options to Chapman Freeborn’s U.S. customers.
4Air assists aviation organizations by calculating the environmental impact of their flights and offering them methods to counter it. Through this agreement, Chapman Freeborn’s U.S. clients will have the ability to opt into this service and have monthly reports of their flights generated. Each report will then be provided to 4Air for calculation of the flight's total carbon emissions.
“By opting in, Chapman Freeborn’s clients can travel knowing their flight activity is offset through verified projects that reduce carbon emissions elsewhere or through the use of sustainable aviation fuel which reduces lifecycle emissions in-sector,” said 4Air COO Nancy Bsales.
Customers will receive an annual emissions report that details the emission certificates that have been purchased and retired on their behalf. “The aviation sector has a significant challenging task in reducing its impacts by 2050 and the Chapman Freeborn Group [sees] this partnership with 4Air as the first small, but important, step in taking responsibility in reducing both our impacts and those of our clients,” explained Lee Fletcher, the broker’s environmental and sustainability manager.
