Judson Macor, CEO of AirSprint Inc., Canada's leader in fractional aircraft sales, announced today that the company has developed a program to offset estimated generation of carbon dioxide for all of its corporate activities in partnership with TerraPass, a provider of offset programs to the private aviation industry. "A number of our Owners asked us to investigate the possibility of purchasing carbon offsets to balance out the carbon impact from the use of their aircraft. What we arrived at was a voluntary, progressive and proactive program that would allow our clients to enjoy a 'green footprint' with AirSprint and perhaps provide all of us with some insulation from a more onerous mandatory program in the future," Mr. Macor said.
According to Mr. Macor, the annual carbon offset costs incurred with a one-eighth ownership in an AirSprint aircraft are estimated to range from $1,158 for a Pilatus PC-12 to $3,587 for a Citation XL/S.
