Private aviation company Jet Republic has joined Bombardier’s pioneering Carbon Offset Program. Bombardier became the first Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to offer its business aircraft customers a carbon emissions offset option in September 2007.
Jet Republic launched in September 2008 with the largest European business aircraft order ever placed – 110 Bombardier Learjet 60 XR business jets. The company will offset the CO2 emissions of its new fleet of Learjet 60 XR aircraft as they enter into service over the course of the next two years, starting in October 2009. Through the Bombardier Carbon Offset Program, both the Jet Republic organization and its customers can be assured that the environmental impact of the carbon emissions from their aircraft usage is offset.
