Larry Wade, president, Golden Isles Aviation and Air Elite board chair says:"Sustainability is an important responsibility for our industry and is a growing desire for our customers. In response, Air Elite has started its sustainability journey. I am proud of the 43 Air Elite members that have stepped up to make their operations carbon-neutral. That's not an easy investment in this COVID era. Regardless, they have taken the first strides to set a path for Air Elite to be a carbon-neutral network, as well as supporting sustainability initiatives going forward."

Achieving carbon neutrality at 43 locations is a meaningful initial action in Air Elite's vision of becoming a sustainable network. In association with World Fuel, the network intends to expand the sustainability programme by providing conservation programmes, renewable energy and expanded offset options to decarbonise its operations.

Steve Drzymalla, senior vice presidentfor business aviation bulk fuel, World Fuel Services, stated: "We applaud the decision of Air Elite's leadership to pursue carbon neutrality. With our solutions, we are in the position to help network members easily achieve their carbon reduction goals. With our first sustainable aviation fuel shipments in 2014 to the addition of selling fuel bundled with offsets in our FBO software, World Fuel Services has and will continue to commit our resources to create a more sustainable future for our customers and the aviation industry."
