At Eclair we are committed to creating a more sustainable future for business aviation.
Our initiatives for reducing carbon footprint and lessening our overall environmental impact include two main pillars:
The aviation industry is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and is under increasing pressure to transition to more sustainable practices.
With the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, governments and international organizations are implementing regulations and initiatives to steer the aviation industry towards this ambitious target.
At Eclair we are committed to creating a more sustainable future for business aviation and are fully committed to comply with these regulations.
SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM
We are proud to partner with 4AIR, a leader in sustainability solutions for private aviation. Their extensive portfolio features projects around the world that drive sustainable development.
Through this partnership we provide our customers access to their four-level sustainability program, designed to address various aspects of aviation’s environmental impact. This program is voluntary and allows customers to choose the level of sustainability they want to achieve.
FOUR-LEVEL SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM
how it works
Flight details are shared securely and anonymously with 4AIR, ensuring that only the information necessary for accurate calculations and verification is used. Emissions are offset using a pre-selected portfolio of carbon projects, with every offset meeting the highest standards of integrity, delivering real and measurable impact.
Every offset is verified by internationally renowned organizations, including the American Carbon Registry, Climate Action Reserve, Verified Carbon Standard (VERRA), and The Gold Standard. More information about the carbon projects.
Operational efficiency
Produced from renewable resources such as used cooking oil, waste oils, agricultural residues, and other bio-based feedstocks, SAF offers a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil jet fuel. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), SAF could contribute approximately 65% of the emission reductions needed for the aviation industry to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
The ReFuelEU Aviation initiative is key regulatory framework promoting the adoption of SAF across the aviation sector. Starting from January 1, 2025, a 2% SAF will be automatically applied to every flight.
In our commitment to reduce the environmental impact, we are focused on optimizing our flight operations. One of the strategies we employ is offering "empty leg" flights to customers, which allows us to minimize the number of empty aircraft journeys.
This optimization significantly reduces the overall number of flights and, consequently, our carbon emissions.
Website booking engine
Our new website booking engine, developed by Moove, enables clients to select the most efficient aircraft available.
On top of that their booking engine incorporates SmartLeg Finder technology to optimize the distribution of empty sectors and improve fleet efficiency.
This approach makes unfilled capacity visible to flexible travelers, ensuring smarter, more efficient travel solutions.
Reaching net-zero
Reaching net-zero carbon emissions is a long-term goal that requires dedication, innovation, and collaboration.
By using carbon credits offset program, prioritizing the use of sustainable aviation fuel and seeking new ways to reduce the environmental impact, we are paving the way for a greener future for aviation industry.
