Victor surpasses 400 private jet charter bookings with Sustainable Aviation Fuel ♻️✈️
Since June 2022, our innovative ‘Pay Here, Use There’ model has allowed our clients to make a SAF purchase that can reduce their carbon emissions by up to 80% on any flight they book with us worldwide. 1 in 5 Victor clients are voluntarily purchasing on average £964 of Sustainable Aviation Fuel per booking, resulting in an average carbon emission reduction of 1.47 tonnes.
All of the SAF that is purchased by our clients is produced in Neste’s refinery where it is then delivered to Helsinki airport to be used on a commercial flight. The emission reduction is not only in-sector, meaning the emission reduction is staying in aviation, but it is also ‘immediate’ with a clear chain of custody.
On surpassing 400 private jet charter bookings with SAF, Toby Edwards Victor co-CEO said…
"I would like to thank our pioneering clients once again for their continued trust in our climate action initiatives. To date, they have collectively spent £387,336 on Sustainable Aviation Fuel. From our side, we will continue to encourage others to follow their lead - there is always a better way to fly."
If 1 in 5 scheduled airline passengers voluntarily replaced 30% fossil fuel with SAF (as Victor has experienced over the past year), then SAF would account for around 18 million of the circa 300 million tonnes of annual global jet fuel usage. This figure is what IATA has stated SAF demand needs to be in 2030 for the aviation sector to achieve net zero by 2050.
As we continue this journey, we invite more flyers and industry stakeholders to join us in embracing responsible aviation practices and collectively contribute to a more sustainable business aviation sector.

1moResilience means there is no "one size fits all solution". Aviation safety was built upon back up plans in the event of failure modes. People need multiple options.
