By GlobalDataThe 4AIR framework consists of four levels, each with specific scientific objectives and increasingly significant impacts on sustainability, which enables aviation companies to achieve sustainability through access to carbon markets and the use of SAF.
Each rating level is built up as a turnkey solution that can be used at the flying hour or per gallon level with each grade being a ready-made sustainability programme that businesses may use in their flight.
Businesses can either share their sustainability rating with customers or obtain a rating for their entire operation.
According to 4AIR President Kennedy Ricci, the programme in place at 4AIR has allowed their customers to expand their sustainability goals in a more advanced way than before through commitment and moving to higher rating levels.
Ricci said: “4AIR pushes the envelope around our idea of a sustainability program. 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.”
Additionally, 4AIR have produced an interactive map which indicates locations that have a physical SAF supply. CO₂
