Swiss Helicopter and Altitude work together on adressing the internal use of the helicopter operator over the next year, boosting their sustainability efforts. This move supports pilot training, mandatory check flights, and other essential
The Swiss Helicopter company Swiss Helicopter partners with Altitude on sustainably powering a portion of their flights.
Swiss Helicopter is already a leader in sustainability within the aviation industry. Since 2023, the company has been procuring Carbon Removal from Carbonfuture for all its passenger flights. The company is now increasing its efforts by procuring sustainable aviation fuel for their internal usage, which includes flights for pilot training, mandatory check flights, and many other important flying tasks.
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a highly innovative solution, combining jet fuel with durable carbon removal into a transparent and trackable zero-emission aviation solution. It addresses the complexity of buying biobased SAF or eFuel and allows aviation companies to tackle their flight emissions at scale when no bio-based SAF is available.
Altitude has several other aviation companies in their partner pipeline. The world’s first purchase of this sustainable fuel can be tracked here on the Altitude platform for registered partners.
