Reducing Our Impact

At JetSafe, we aim to reduce the environmental impact of air travel. Our team is committed to achieving carbon-neutral aircraft utilization, while advancing toward net-zero operations. JetSafe actively participates in carbon and emission offset programs.

The Future of Turbine Aircraft

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a type of jet fuel derived from renewable and sustainable sources, such as waste oils, agricultural residues, and other biomass. While turbine emissions remain similar, SAF has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional jet fuel.

Although still in the early stages of adoption, SAF can help reduce the upstream carbon emissions associated with aviation fuel production. Williams International recently conducted a successful test flight using the FJ44 series turbine engine, a slightly larger variant of the FJ33 used by the Vision Jet. JetSafe is closely evaluating SAF development and implementation programs.
