Nearly eight out of ten (79 percent) board directors and\nsenior executives of S&P 500 companies and other major U.S. corporations\nbelieve the business aviation sector\u2019s increasing use of sustainable aviation\nfuel and its improving sustainability record will lead to more large U.S.\ncorporations purchasing private jets. This is according to research\ncommissioned by Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of those senior executives interviewed whose companies do\nnot currently own their own jet but are expected to purchase one in the next\nfew years, 43% cited a growing focus on sustainability as one of the top three\nreasons for this. Furthermore, of those\nU.S. executives who work for large corporations that own a jet and expect them\nto upgrade them in the next five years, 67%said a key reason is to focus on\nmodels that can make greater use of sustainable fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ACJ\u2019s research found that in addition to U.S. corporations\nplacing a greater focus on sustainable fuel when using business aviation, they\nare generally looking to make greater use of their aircraft to support their\nwider ESG strategies, such as using them more for air ambulance purposes.\nAround 75% of executives said they believe large U.S. corporations will want to\ndo this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAirbus is committed to pioneering the use of sustainable\nfuel, but also to developing the latest technology to reduce the impact of our\naircraft on the environment,” said Sean McGeough, VP Commercial ACJ for North\nAmerica. \u201cFor example, our new ACJ TwoTwenty uses advanced materials and\ntechnology for lower fuel burn and maintenance costs. It has 50% lower\nemissions per square meter when compared to large business jets in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBusiness aviation\u2019s commitment to reducing its impact on\nthe environment makes owning an aircraft more appealing, and this is becoming a\nmuch more important issue for those buying them,\u201d said McGeough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ACJ offers a range of large business aircraft, the latest of\nwhich is the ACJ TwoTwenty. This jet was launched in October 2020, creating a whole\nnew market segment \u2013 \u2018The Xtra Large Bizjet.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ACJ TwoTwenty offers unbeatable economics and unrivaled\nreliability at the same price as ultra-long-range (ULR) business jets. It\noccupies the same parking footprint as competitive ULR jets and can take off\nfrom the same airports, but its operating costs are one-third less. It also is\nthe quietest and most eco-friendly aircraft in its category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ACJ is working as part of the global Airbus family to\noptimize its environmental performance, reduce noise and create responsible\nsolutions that support both its sustainability ambitions and customers\u2019 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ACJ TwoTwenty, thanks to its advanced design and the\nmost efficient engines of any large business jet, is the quietest aircraft in\nthe LR\/ULR marketplace, delivering an 18-decibel noise margin versus current\nregulations and up to 20% lower fuel burn versus previous-generation aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with all ACJ aircraft, the ACJ TwoTwenty is certified to\nfly with a 50% blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The goal is to achieve\n100 percent SAF certification by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
