Additional recipients have been announced by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) for its new Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation program.

Awardees include:
- American Express Corporate Aviation: Flight, Operations

“Through programs such as NBAA’s Sustainable Flight Department Accreditation Program, business aviation is taking concrete, measurable steps to address climate change,” NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen says. “We commend the companies who have worked hard to achieve this accreditation and strive to create a more sustainable future for business aviation.”
Entities who choose to participate in the program use an Emissions Data Form to submit three required components for a given accreditation. NBAA has an Emissions Data Form Guide to assist applicants through the submission process. After submitting documentation and payment, the organization conducts an audit. Should accreditation be rewarded, it is broken into six tiers based on a percentage of CO2 net emissions reduction.
The program was launched in 2022 and is not limited to flight departments.
