In order to adapt to consumer demands for sustainable flying, private jet companies have been investing in eco-friendly technologies and design.
American aerospace manufacturer Learjet unveiled the first purpose-built private jet, the Learjet 23 in 1963. Dassault Aviation debuted its first executive jet, the Mystère-Falcon 20, that same year, and in 1966, the Gulfstream II was launched — an aircraft said to have first set the standard for private jets. Today, those standards are even higher: private fliers want an experience that offers both the peak of luxury and a sustainable way to travel.
Finding a green solution is something that the aviation industry is striving towards. The National Business Aviation Authority committed to achieving carbon-neutral growth in international emissions by 2020 — aided by the fact that, in 2014, manufacturers succeeded in developing supersonic private aircraft that runs on biofuels. And this is only the start of the sector’s move towards cleaner travel and a more sustainable future.
The endeavour is part of the company’s Blue Skies carbon offsetting program, which it launched in 2008 to encourage private jet owners to make their flight activity more environmentally friendly. And, this February, NetJets announced its commitment to purchasing 100 million gallons of SAF over the next decade from the next-generation landfill-waste-to-fuel company, WasteFuel.
