THE FIRST FRACTIONAL TO GO GREEN In response to the environmental challenge faced by all aircraft carriers, Avantair has become the first fractional in the industry to begin offsetting carbon emissions by purchasing Flight TerraPass for all new owners. Every time an aircraft flies, jet fuel is submitted into the air in the form of carbon dioxide. As we boast the lowest fuel burn in the fractional industry, our carbon emissions are in turn also the lowest in the industry. Avantair is the exclusive provider of the P.180, which is the most efficient of all fractional aircraft with a fuel burn of about 98 gallons per hour. TerraPass funds three types of leading-edge projects: (1) clean energy such as wind; (2) farm power such as dairy farm methane digesters; and (3) landfill gas capture which reduces the impact of our own waste. Every TerraPass offset purchase is audited according to standards set by the nonprofit Center for Resources Solutions, creator of Green-e, the nation’s leading renewable energy certification program.
