Carbon Offset

Carbon offsets fund projects that reduce CO2 emissions (reforestation, renewable energy) to compensate for flight emissions. Many charter companies offer carbon offset programs to clients.

The core concept behind Carbon Offset is recognized internationally, but implementation varies. The FAA, EASA, and national aviation authorities each apply their own regulations, which means Carbon Offset may carry different specific requirements depending on where you're operating.
