4Air has signed its 100th client, the aviation sustainability consulting firm said Thursday. The company delivers sustainability programs dedicated to aviation, providing what it calls a simplified and verifiable path for aircraft operators to reduce their carbon footprint.
Since 4Air’s launch in January 2021, it has offset or reduced more than 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions through the use of verified carbon offset credits and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In just over two years, the company has provided accounting and documentation for the physical and book-and-claim use of more than 5.8 million gallons of SAF.
The company lays claim to an expansive and diverse client roster, including airlines such as Southwest Airlines, FBOs Clay Lacy Aviation and Fontainebleau Aviation, air charter operators Verijet and Tradewind Aviation, and OEMs Embraer and GE Honda Aero Engines. It also counts corporate flight departments and airports as clients and has partnerships within aviation insurance providers.
“4Air pushes the envelope around our idea of a sustainability program,” said company president Kennedy Ricci. “Our program begins where most others end and lays out a path for a longer-term approach to sustainability. Aviation has the opportunity to be carbon-neutral today, and our program answers the question of how to start while enabling improved and more comprehensive solutions over time.”
