In Sweden, Air Leap AB, a recently started airline focused on the Nordic regional markets, has partnered with Flyg Green Fund, a unique Nordic service innovation that enables organizations and individuals in the Nordic region to reduce their climate footprint by flying on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Launched in January 2019, Air Leap has quickly grown to become an important transport link connecting regional cities around Sweden, Norway, Finland and the island of Åland. These locations are heavily dependent on good air connections and through the purchase of biojet fuel, air travel can become both time saving and a sustainable transport alternative.
Therefore, Air Leap has chosen to support the Fly Green Fund by campaigning for the possibility of climate-reducing air travel, which, in addition to the direct carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, also drives the flight’s conversion.
Since so many people need the flight, it is important that we push for a quick change of fuel so that it also becomes a sustainable mode of transport. We are therefore very happy and grateful that Air LEAP has taken this initiative and that we can contribute to their sustainability work, commented David Hild, CEO, Fly Green Fund.
