Fast Air Group of Companies: Leading the Way in Sustainable Aviation

At Fast Air Group of Companies, we are committed to practices that promote a healthier world and future for our staff, clients, and the planet. Because travel activities have an impact on the environment, it is our responsibility to implement sustainable operational practices. Despite having a relatively small footprint in comparison to commercial aviation, business aviation continues to play a leading role in reducing carbon emissions for the entire aviation industry.

Innovations Driving Carbon Reduction

Fast Air is at the forefront of implementing innovations that drive carbon reduction in business aviation. These include:

Extended range improvements decrease 5 fuel burns and carbon emissions by 5%.

Innovative winglets improve fuel 5 efficiency by more than 5%.

Advanced construction materials like carbon fibers, and shape memory alloys reduce weight and fuel burns by 13%.

Fuel-saving engines improve efficiency by 40 as much as 40% compared to 30 years ago.

Lifecycle carbon reduction through newer, better-designed fuels.

While these innovations represent significant progress, we recognize that more action is needed to address climate change effectively. As a response to this urgency, Fast Air actively participates in initiatives like the Business Aviation Sustainable Aviation Fuel Coalition (SAF Coalition) to dramatically reduce carbon emissions.

Fast Air is committed to making sustainability a priority across all aspects of our operations. We have developed a comprehensive Carbon Reduction Plan that includes:
