Carbon offset

VistaJet is driving further responsibility for the emissions generated by the global fuel consumption of flying around 70,000 passengers per year. Passengers can compensate for fuel use-related carbon emissions from VistaJet aircraft by investing in certified carbon credits.

VistaJet contracts will include a carbon compensation option for all new Program membership contracts and On Demand global live and ferry flights as of January 1st, 2020.

VistaJet has selected emission reduction projects of exceptional quality, adhering to the highest environmental standards and holding additional certifications. In addition to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, VistaJet projects support the well-being of local communities in the countries the company flies to.

The VistaJet business model

Reducing the number of aircraft. Having a shared fleet means less aircraft being produced and enables higher utilization of each existing aircraft.

A global fleet. VistaJet global infrastructure allows for a reduction in repositioning flights around the globe, making flying as efficient as possible.

A young fleet. VistaJet’s young fleet also means benefitting from latest flying technology, for the most efficient flying and a better fuel burn than older aircraft.

AI and technology to minimize fuel consumption

VistaJet has launched a comprehensive program to automate flight optimization and global fleet management, promoting more efficient aircraft capacities and optimum aircraft loading procedures.

Through investment in AI and machine learning technology, VistaJet is working on predictive routes algorithms in an effort to minimize ferry flights and reduce fuel consumption across its entire operations, across all its companies, anywhere in the world.

The program, launched in 2019, will proceed onto its testing phases throughout 2020, to guarantee major improvements in business efficiency and reduction of impact per flight.

Investment in biofuels

VistaJet is committed to using sustainable alternative jet fuels. Currently, there is only a handful of hubs where sustainable aviation fuel is available.

VistaJet is asking fuel companies to produce alternative jet fuel in sufficient quantities and to make them available across more locations to support global air travel to have an effective impact on the emissions.

To further push producers, VistaJet will start lobbying efforts alongside leading manufacturers and operators.

Early booking program

VistaJet has launched a discount incentive for clients who book early.

Booking with at least a week's notice helps us improve fleet optimization, reducing unnecessary fuel burn.

For Program Members, this means a discount on their hourly rates.

On board products

VistaJet has already removed over 90% of single-use items from its cabin and replaced them with sustainable alternatives, including its onboard amenity kits.

It has also switched to more sustainable materials, such as using glass bottles instead of plastic, or packaging products using starch that fully biodegrades in one year.

Finally, it is substituting more on-board products with ones made with more sustainable materials, such as bamboo or vegetable sources.

Working with sustainable partners

VistaJet partners with carbon neutral companies whenever possible and has started restricting its requirements for all purchasing partners, including sustainability accreditation for third parties across all departments in the business.

Future research

During 2020, VistaJet will go through a full audit across the entire business to assess further possibilities and developments. VistaJet is adamant about extending its push to be a sustainable-first company and commits to:

• Estimating the carbon footprint of its operations and offices worldwide in accordance to the principles of the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
• Defining an emissions reduction strategy and identifying further greenhouse gas emissions reductions opportunities across the business.
