Announcing North America's First Carbon Neutral Airline

Harbour Air Ltd, the world’s largest all-seaplane airline, announced today that it has pledged to become completely carbon neutral by the end of 2007. Effective October 1, 2007, Harbour Air will purchase high quality carbon offsets to mitigate the climate impact of all scheduled service, charter and tour operations. This will make Harbour Air the first air carrier of any variety in North America and the only seaplane airline in the world to make all of its flight services 100% carbon neutral.

Harbour Air is further pledging to offset its corporate emissions to become the first carrier in the world to become completely carbon neutral in all aspects of its business. Harbour Air Seaplanes will institute a policy to track, reduce, and offset its corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by January 1, 2008.

This program was launched in partnership with Offsetters Climate Neutral Society.
