SUSTAINABLE FUEL – THE KEY TO GREENER FLYING

Green technology and lifestyle choices are becoming increasingly important for travelers, especially for clients who utilize commercial and private air travel. One breakthrough on the horizon that will make this form of travel more eco-friendly and environmentally-responsible is sustainable fuel for aircraft. Here are some insights into what this could mean for the future of air travel.

How is the Aviation Industry Currently Fighting Climate Change? 

From 2020, landmark anti-CO2 initiatives will be implemented to offset the emissions from commercial and private air travel. The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is a global initiative led by the United Nations that provides means for the industry to counter the greenhouse emissions that result from jet fuels. This is an important initiative, with domestic and international flights emitting approximately 895 million tons of CO2 in 2018 alone – 2.4% of global CO2 emissions.

Sustainable Fuel Could be a Game-Changer 

Greenhouse gasses like CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere as a by-product of burning fuel. So, by finding a sustainable, green fuel source for commercial and private aircraft (one that does not release these gasses), using aircraft could become the greenest and most eco-friendly way to travel.

Fuel giants like Neste and Air BP have jumped at the chance to develop a sustainable aircraft fuel, partnering up on a joint project that aims to meet the increasing demand for Green aircraft fuel and the aviation industry’s focus on reducing their environmental footprint. Virgin is another company that is driving this research. It’s great for the environment and the industry’s image.

There are many pathways being investigated, but one of the most promising ones utilizes waste, which is another huge problem for our planet, to create fuel. This fuel type mixes kerosene with renewable hydrocarbons, a common element found in cooking oil and other everyday items. Drop-in fuel is another alternative that is petroleum-free, making it more environmentally-friendly.

This technology is arriving fast, which is great news for environmentally-conscious air travelers. In fact, Virgin Atlantic completed its first transatlantic flight using sustainable biofuel on October 4th, 2018 – a world first. It’s only a matter of time before private jet travelers can explore the world knowing that they’re putting the planet first!

WHAT IS PRIVATE JET FBO?

When flying by private jet from Monmouth Executive Airport or other private terminals and airports around the world, you’ll often come across the acronym “FBO”. Here’s what this means and why it matters when you’re flying for business or leisure on a private jet.

FBO stands for the phrase “Fixed Base Operator”, and this term includes all the facilities open to private charter travelers, as you won’t be using the airport facilities for commercial airline travelers. The FBO can range in quality, size, and amenities according to different airports, with the best private airports and terminals offering luxurious and stylish lounges complete with a wide range of amenities including airport transfer specialists, Wi-Fi, dining options, and more.

While the quality of an FBO is important to most airports, including Monmouth Airport, the reality is that most passengers spend very little time in these spaces. This is because, unlike flying commercial, private jet clients can arrive a few minutes before they are scheduled to depart and don’t need to arrive early for processing through TSA security and baggage checks. In many cases, private jet clients can be transported directly to the jet, where it sits ready and waiting with the crew to leave as soon as you are onboard.

However, a well-equipped and comfortable FBO is still essential to a high-quality private airport. If a client arrives early for any reason, they should have a private and functional space where they can comfortably relax until their flight. If passengers are traveling with pets or small children, the FBO is a good place to stop and meet the crew, so that they can help you transport your kids and pets onto the jet and assist with luggage. If the weather is poor, the FBO provides safe, luxurious shelter from the rain, snow or wind, allowing the crew to transport clients to their private aircraft with minimal discomfort.
