Flight Sharing Environmental Benefits

In addition to being financially smart, the exchange also keeps with environmentally-conscious efforts, as carbon emissions are lessened through shared private flights.

When sharing a private charter flight, instead of two airplanes flying at the same time on the same route, only one flight is taking place, thereby reducing environmental impacts in multiple areas.

The various environmental benefits include the following:

• Reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced wear and tear on a second aircraft
• No need for a second pilot and crew to come and go to-and-from airports
• No need to prep a second aircraft for takeoff, conduct pre-flight checks and tests

Additional flight hours eliminated on a second aircraft, will reduce the need for routine maintenance required after the designated hours in-flight, namely use of lubricants being changed, fuel for engine testing, etc.

The exchange has opened private aviation to travelers who are concerned about environmental impacts and are interested in making private flights more efficient and having a reduced “carbon footprint”.

With shared private charter flights, luxury and convenience can be combined with environmental concerns and awareness.
