The agreement offers technical oversight, data validation, and sustainability expertise to enhance the NBAA program’s rigor and credibility.
The National Business Aviation Association and 4Air have agreed on a strategic partnership.
The agreement with the sustainability solutions provider will “expand and strengthen” the trade group’s Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation Program.
NBAA launched its Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation Program in 2022.
The program helps companies that use private aviation make flights, operations, ground support, and infrastructure more sustainable.
4AIR will help NBAA deliver and scale the accreditation program and continue to encourage organizations to take a comprehensive approach to environmental responsibility.
NBAA CEO Ed Bolen said, “This program allows flight departments and businesses to demonstrate sustainability progress and leadership while helping move business aviation forward together to meet our industry’s unified goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the years to come.”
He added, “We are excited to partner with 4Air and tap into their sustainability expertise to make the Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation Program even better.”
4Air COO Nancy Bsales said, “At this stage in aviation’s sustainability journey, leadership is defined by structure, data, and accountability.”
She continued, “Partnering with NBAA on this accreditation reflects a shared belief that meaningful progress comes from practical frameworks that help flight departments embed sustainability into everyday operations — not just talk about it.”
4AIR will provide technical oversight, industry data validation, and sustainability expertise to enhance the program’s rigor and credibility.
According to the announcement, “The partnership underscores a broader shift within the sector toward verified, data-driven sustainability strategies, positioning accreditation not as an endpoint, but as part of an ongoing commitment to responsible aviation.”
More than three dozen leading companies have earned the NBAA Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation.
That includes American Express, Coca-Cola, Gulfstream, Humana, Pfizer, Target, Textron, and Whirlpool.
