The National Business Aviation Association has accredited Clay Lacy Aviation as a Sustainable Flight Department in the Infrastructure category.
It joins a global list of around 30 corporate flight departments and aviation service providers.
“The Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation for Infrastructure recognizes the strong commitment Clay Lacy Aviation has made to ensure its facilities and operations are using the most environmentally friendly practices available to conduct its business,” said LaKisha Dillingham, Credentialing Manager of NBAA.
She added, “We celebrate this outstanding achievement and hope it inspires others to work toward the goal of a more sustainable industry.”
The program identifies business aviation entities meeting exceptional environmental sustainability standards.
It is evaluated on four fronts, with different accreditations: flight, operations, ground support, and infrastructure.
Clay Lacy Aviation is one of just eight companies worldwide and the first FBO to receive infrastructure accreditation.
“This accreditation was the result of our long-term, holistic strategy for more sustainable operations,” said Scott Cutshall, Clay Lacy’s President, Real Estate & Sustainability.
He added, “We’re honored to receive this recognition and are committed to driving sustainable practices in business aviation.”

That includes efficient building design, electric ground service equipment, the use of renewable diesel, solar panel installations, comprehensive waste management systems, the reduction of single-use plastics, electric vehicle charging, and offering a continuous supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Clay Lacy also received Van Nuys Airport’s Friendly Flyer noise reduction award for the eighth time.
It was the first company to receive the 4AIR sustainability rating of Facilities Neutral.
