lastminutejet.com provides private jet flights to its clients, through the usage of empty flight sectors that are created by the need to position aircraft. This method of supply has an important role in reducing wasted carbon dioxide emissions from private aviation and maximising emissions to use ratios. lastminutejet.com understands the relationship between your flight and its environmental impact and works with The Carbon Consultancy to reduce the impact of your flight, through support for woodland creation and primary school renewable energy education in the UK. A flight with lastminutejet.com will therefore use otherwise wasted flight emissions and will address the actual emissions from the flight through an initiative to save and store carbon dioxide.

Each flight is calculated according to the time and distance flown and the aircraft type, to create a value of carbon dioxide emissions. lastminutejet.com then purchases units to balance this carbon dioxide value and reduce your environmental impact at no cost to its passengers.

The units purchased by lastminutejet.com support the creation of new woodland in the National Forest in Leicestershire. The site was approved for new woodland planting by the Forestry Commission and planted by ISO14001 certified foresters, whose operations are subject to external audit. The trees used are predominantly native species, including a majority of oak. The site has full public access and has been planted to deliver a range of bio diversity benefits beyond carbon sequestration.

The education project educates primary school children about renewable energy values. The purpose is to help create lower carbon consumption habits in one of the world’s highest per capita emitting countries. The schools are located in the south west of England and the project is run by a leading renewable energy education charity, the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
