The Leading Edge of Sustainability

Aviation Partners has played a leading role in sustainability innovation, providing green solutions to the industry. Every flight using Blended Winglet and advanced winglet technology allows aircraft owners to burn less fuel and reduce CO2 emissions compared to unequipped aircraft.

Our designed Winglets are now flying on more than 10,000 business and commercial aircraft, surpassing major milestones of green flying, including billions of gallons of jet fuel saved and preventing millions of tons of CO2 emissions being released. Aviation Partners technology provides practical solutions now to help operators achieve their sustainability goals and to meet the industry’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050.

Aviation Partners collaborates with sustainability solutions leaders and accelerators. New clients gain access to comprehensive emissions footprint assessment from industry-leader 4AIR, to help them reach their sustainability goals. We are also proud to back Future Energy Global, a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) market accelerator, and be honored by Corporate Jet Investor for sustainability.

Joe Clark, founder of Aviation Partners, improved on the Blended Winglet design in the 1990s that helped lead to recognition throughout the industry, including the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation’s Corporate Award for Balance. It also helped inspire the Lindbergh Foundation’s Aviation Green Alliance, to bring awareness to technological advances to benefit the environment.

Reaching business aviation’s net-zero emissions goal by 2050 will take contributions on multiple fronts. One aspect is building scale into the SAF industry, where production needs to grow a thousandfold to reach the net-zero milestone. Before that happens, installing Aviation Partners winglets are practical ways aircraft owners can take steps to reduce their own carbon footprint. Another is to work with 4AIR’s comprehensive tracking and assessment for a roadmap to a successful strategy.

The equivalent fuel savings provided by Aviation Partners Winglets could have supplied Alaska Airlines’ entire fleet of aircraft for nearly 20 years, or provided fuel for the roughly 450,000 cars in Seattle for 50 years.
