Signature Flight Support announced today that Air BP Sterling Card holders will soon be able to fly using carbon-neutral fuel under a new agreement with the aviation division of BP.

Beginning on Jan. 1, 2018, the carbon emissions from jet fuel purchased by Air BP Sterling Card holders at any participating Signature FBO location in the U.S. will be offset via BP Target Neutral, BP's voluntary carbon offsetting program. This joint approach to carbon reduction shows the commitment of two major players in the business aviation market to achieve a lower-carbon future.

"We are proud to be amongst first-movers in the business and general aviation industry. Signature is committed to excellent corporate social responsibility in all facets of our business. The ability for aircraft operators to offset their carbon by using the Air BP Sterling Card to purchase fuel is another step forward in this journey," said Maria A. Sastre, president and chief operating officer for Signature Flight Support.

As part of this collaboration, Signature and Air BP will increase their Sterling Card acceptance network in the U.S. to more than 100 FBOs.

Julio Casas, Air BP general aviation director, North America said: "We are extremely proud to be supporting our customers in the US, and around the world, to achieve their environmental goals. This collaboration with Signature offers our Air BP Sterling Card customers the opportunity to fly carbon neutral and meets the growing demand for more sustainable travel."

BP Target Neutral has an established program to reduce, replace and neutralize carbon emissions with investments in projects around the world. These projects provide carbon credits which can be used to offset the emissions for Air BP Sterling Card holders flying out of Signature's FBOs.

The collaboration is directly supporting carbon reduction projects in the U.S., such as the campus clean energy project, which is providing investment in renewable energy for a network of universities across the US, and a gas-switching project at a magnesium factory in Michigan, which supports the use of gases with a lower carbon footprint in the manufacturing process.
