XO Rolls Out Carbon-Offset Plan

Private lift provider XO has unveiled a program that will calculate the carbon footprint of its clients' flights and allow them to directly compensate for their environmental impact by purchasing carbon credits directly from climate action project developer South Pole.

According to XO, which is part of the VistaJet Group, fliers can either opt to offset the carbon impacts of all flights through a new option in their XO membership contract, or they can purchase carbon-offset credits on a per-flight basis at the time of booking. They can choose between three South Pole environmental projects, which are certified under international standards in the voluntary carbon market.

We know that our members want to do their part, and we are thrilled to bring them this opportunity.”
