Business jet operator Flexjet is setting up its European Tactical Control Centre at Farnborough Airport in the UK.
Flexjet has sustainability as one of its priorities, including a complete emissions offset (300% CO2e) for both carbon and non-carbon pollution, at no extra cost to the passenger. Farnborough Airport says this contributes to its own commitment to sustainability and the UK government’s targets for net-zero carbon emissions.
Flexjet’s new Tactical Control Centre and office space for its operations and other support teams at Farnborough Airport adds to the 50 companies based on site and the airport’s longstanding history of driving economic growth and local employment in the region.
Farnborough Airport’s CEO, Simon Geere, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Flexjet to Farnborough Airport. The operator’s exemplary focus on sustainability brings additional value to our airport, not to mention a boost to local employment and fiscal growth in the region. After becoming the first business airport to be awarded carbon neutral status in 2018 and making continued improvements in our environmental performance, this partnership further establishes our position as one of the most modern, well-connected, and sustainably minded airports of its kind.”
Flexjet European Managing Director, Marine Eugène, said: “Our move to Farnborough Airport represents an important milestone in our European expansion and generates a multitude of synergies and benefits for our team and our owners alike. Flexjet and Farnborough Airport have a shared ethos for excellence in both operations and service, so we are delighted to be forging this closer partnership.”
