We share the desire to reduce the impact on climate with many businesses around the world. We firmly believe that people need to travel to meet each other face to face and to meet new people and new cultures. This is a basic need for us humans to understand each other and the planet that we all share. But to continue doing this in the future, flying needs to have as low environmental footprint as possible.
That is why we are investing heavily in creating the world´s most sustainable flight academy with the latest technology.
We think improvements in sustainability has, and will continue to happen, in an incremental fashion. Travel and transportation are vital components of a modern economy and changes are incremental by necessity, not the least to maintain widespread public acceptance for sustainability measures.
Green Flight Academy is a part of a development towards a more sustainable aviation industry, and we believe we are doing so by:
Being sustainable is about ensuring climate savings from several aspects.
Renewable power
The local energy enterprise, Skellefteå Kraft delivers 100% renewable power (wind power and hydropower) to Green Flight Academys charging station at Skellefteå Airport.
Electric shuttle buses
Beside using electric aeroplanes in our basic training we also uses electric shuttle buses between our two training facilities. The shuttle bus will be charged at the airport and at campus with 100% renewable power.
Recycling nearby
When the batteries are used up, we can recycle them nearby. Boliden Smelter Rönnskär, which recycles batteries, metal and electricity, is located just outside the city.
The basic flight training is carried out in Pipistrel Velis Electro charged with 100% renewable energy
Local energy enterprise Skellefteå Kraft is a driving force in working for a sustainable future. Skellefteå Kraft delivers 100% hydro power to Green Flight Academy.
