air2there.com carbon negative air services soars

air2there.com carbon negative air services taking off

air2there.com manager Richard Baldwin says his airline's associated carbon sink forest absorption rate is well ahead of carbon release resulting from its fossil fuel consumption and staff activities.

“Since air2there.com began scheduled services in late 2004 the airline's rate of carbon release has been far below that of our associated forest’s absorption.
“air2there.com doesn't just gas about carbon and climate change; it takes matters seriously, far beyond common rhetoric.”

Baldwin also says that alternatives to fossil fuels are being investigated.

“Research is underway on the use of finely powdered wood products as fuel for turbine engines. This could be a major aviation advance and directly link our airline and forest.
“Use of fuel efficient short-hop aircraft and mopping up carbon released by its activities are key issues for air2there.com.”

99% of air2there.com tickets are purchased online from www.air2there.com .

air2there.com is a regional air service for Central New Zealand. air2there.com is based at Paraparaumu Airport and is dedicated to providing a fast, affordable regional service. Charter services are available to many smaller airports throughout New Zealand.
