Cielo Aviation is the first Italian Private Jet company to include a carbon emissions offset program on every flight operated, wherever you fly.



Data shows half of all aviation emissions were introduced in the last 20 years despite improving fuel efficiency. In 2018, one billion metric tons of carbon were released by aviation for the first time. As access to air travel continues to grow, it is clear that if we are to meet the increase in global demand, we must simultaneously pursue emissions reductions and the development of sustainable aviation technologies. 



That is why we offset 100% of the CO2 emissions the aircraft generates as part of our comprehensive sustainability program. Our program uses independently verified carbon credits to support many of the world’s most innovative clean energy projects.



We are partnering with 4AIR, the first organization of its kind that has created a rating system for the commitment to sustainability focusing entirely on private aviation.  4AIR possesses an exceptional project portfolio built on results-driven sustainability initiatives in place across the globe.



With Cielo Aviation you fly with confidence, knowing we offset 100% of the CO2 generated by the flight through the use of carbon credits on your behalf. However, if you are interested in going even further, our programme with 4AIR offers multiple levels of participation:



You may wish to upgrade to fly Emissions Neutral, which looks beyond the CO2 generated by the flight and offsets other non-CO2 components found in aircraft emissions, including water vapour, aerosols and nitrogen oxide (NOx). Emissions Neutral requires a 300% offset of carbon emissions to cover these additional components.



You may even opt to reduce lifecycle emissions through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or support the Aviation Climate Fund. The Aviation Climate Fund writes grants and investments to university research to support new technologies aimed at reducing emissions in aviation. The fund easily allows individuals and companies to participate in this leading-edge research and help shape the future of aviation.

Working with 4AIR, we have selected a portfolio of carefully chosen project types in which Cielo Aviation is focusing its offsetting activity. These examples are all accredited projects and are based across the world - with activities ranging from forestry programs to cookstoves to renewable energy.

Forestry Project 📍 Democratic Republic of Congo



The Mai Ndombe REDD+ project is utilizing carbon finance to address the basic development needs of 180,000 remote people with little to no access to social services, by protecting 300,000 hectares of critical bonobo and forest elephant habitat within the Congo Basin, the world’s second- largest intact rainforest which also contains one of the most important wetlands on the planet.

Hydroelectric 📍 Turkey



The main purpose of the project is to generate approximately 150.39GWh/year of electricity to supply the national grid using a renewable resource. The project activity reduces greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions that would have otherwise occurred in the absence of the project activity by avoiding electricity generation from fossil fuel sources. The average annual emission reductions of the proposed Project are estimated to be 97,754 tonnes of CO2e (tCO2e).

Renewable Energy 📍 India



The main purpose of this project activity is to generate a clean form of electricity through renewable solar energy sources. The project activity involves installation of a 500 MW solar power project in Andhra Pradesh state of India. Over the 10 years of first crediting period, the project will replace anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) estimated to be approximately 887,800 tCO2e per year, thereon displacing 919,800 MWh/year amount of electricity from the generation-mix of power plants connected to the Indian grid, which is mainly dominated by thermal/fossil fuel based power plant.
