Fast Air Executive Aviation is the first aviation operator in Canada to be certified to the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) Sustainability Standard for Aviation Businesses. NATA’s new sustainability certification was developed by industry experts to encourage aviation businesses to focus on sustainable practices and develop cost-effective options to lower their carbon footprints.
“NATA is pleased to see our standard being utilized by all types of aviation businesses including Fast Air, who are setting an example for international aviation operators everywhere. We congratulate Fast Air on becoming NATA’s first certified operator in Canada,” stated NATA Managing Director, Industry and Regulatory Affairs Megan Eisenstein.
NATA certifies aviation companies that have taken concrete steps toward sustainability and who demonstrate plans to work for further reduction in GHGs (greenhouse gases) and CO2 (carbon dioxide). The certification also recognizes a commitment to increase the use of more environmentally friendly energy sources, reduce waste, and encourage sustainability operation-wide.
Dan Rutherford, Fast Air’s Manager of Business Development, noted: “This certification by NATA validates the hard work that Fast Air has been doing to become a ‘Sustainable Aviation’ company. Our commitment builds upon our existing carbon-neutral flights and operations that utilize carbon offsets. We are extending our focus to support an improved future for our People, Planet and Profitability.”
