Chapman Freeborn agrees to new partnership with 4AIR to mark World Environment Day

Chapman Freeborn has agreed a new strategic partnership with sustainable aviation specialist 4AIR on World Environment Day as part of its long-term strategy to reduce emissions.

Customers who book private jet or group charter flights can now contribute towards Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) research as part of the new agreement.

This follows the air charterer’s move to offset all emissions from passenger charter flights on Earth Day.

4AIR calculated the emissions footprint of Chapman Freeborn’s flights, 133mtCO2, and credits were bought to support new renewable energy projects to offset it.

“Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize, but rather than simply accept this hard truth, we must lead by example,” said Lee Fletcher, Group Quality, Environment and Sustainability Manager, Chapman Freeborn.

“I am confident that our new strategic partnership with 4AIR puts the Group on a more sustainable footing and meets demand from our exacting clients for lower impact travel options.

“Passengers can now choose to offset their flights’ emissions through industry-leading, accredited schemes and contribute to building a more sustainable future for aviation.”

To oversee the Group’s environmental initiatives, reporting, and compliance, Lee Fletcher, Chapman Freeborn’s sustainability lead, has been promoted to Group Quality, Environment and Sustainability Manager.

Avia Solutions Group, the holding company for Chapman Freeborn, is also developing SAF and eSAF production facilities in Liepāja, Latvia, strategically positioned to serve the Baltic, Nordic, and Central European regions.
