ASL Group announces an innovative partnership with Azzera to create the first online Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) book and claim system.
Montreal / Antwerp / Rotterdam, February 19, 2024 – ASL Group, a prominent private aircraft operator, and Azzera, a leader in providing sustainability solutions for aviation, have announced a collaborative initiative to automatically book and secure Sustainable Aviation Fuel credits (SAFc). ASL Group will pioneer this solution with its clients to book and claim SAF in any amount towards the emission reduction of their booked flights. This new alliance with Azzera will foster the continuous growth of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel industry.
ASL Group, known for its commitment to excellence, efficiency, and safety across its diverse fleet of over 45 aircraft, was an early adopter of the Azzera CELESTE platform.
Additionally, by leveraging CELESTE’s new book and claim feature, ASL Group will automatically book and secure SAFc at its clients’ option, effortlessly supporting even small sustainable aviation fuel requirements on flights, particularly in locations where physical SAF is unavailable.
Johan Maertens, Co-CEO of ASL Group, remarked, “Our partnership with Azzera is a game-changer in our sustainability initiatives. It will definitely contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of our operations. This aligns perfectly with our ethos of promoting sustainable practices in aviation.”
The online book and claim feature on Azzera CELESTE enables ASL Group to book SAFc (Book and Claim) directly for their flights. Thereafter, Azzera procures the SAFc and provides the necessary certificates using the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) methodology as guidance.
“At the end of each year, Azzera submits all SAF transactions for third-party audit, ensuring accountability and transparency in our sustainability commitments,” adds Puja Mahajan, CEO at Azzera. “Sustainable Aviation Fuel needs pioneers like ASL group to accelerate the decarbonization of aviation”. This collaboration marks a turning point in the sustainability efforts of the private aviation industry.
