CLEVELAND, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 4AIR, the global leader in business aviation sustainability, today announced the expansion of its comprehensive regulatory compliance program to support 21 new regulatory schemes worldwide. This enhancement ensures aviation operators are in full compliance amid new and constantly evolving regulatory schemes and provides them better oversight to the forecasted financial impact on a per aircraft level.

The expansion covers a wide variety of regulatory frameworks across different jurisdictions, addressing emissions tracking, reporting, taxes and duties, and offsetting requirements. Major new programs include the Contrail Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) requirement under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), Refuel EU reporting and fuel procurement compliance, and the Portugal Carbon Tax (PCT).

Additional programs include adjacent non-environmental reporting programs that are administered similarly, easing operator compliance with broader programs like the UK Air Passenger Duty (APD) and French Solidarity Tax.

"As sustainability regulations continue to evolve, our goal is to stay ahead of the curve, providing predictability and seamless solutions that remove the complexities of compliance for our clients," said 4AIR President, Kennedy Ricci. "Potential non-compliance costs with new programs are significant, even for business aviation. The expansion of our program is designed to ensure comprehensive coverage for our clients and support adjacent reporting requirements."

4AIR provides monthly reports for clients of current and projected compliance costs, allocates specific costs to the applicable flight, helps monitor and manage activity against new and existing reporting and compliance thresholds, and any other data analysis or emissions tracking requested. Additionally, if compliance or reporting to a program is required, 4AIR will manage the entire process including obtaining third party verification and communicating with regulators.

This service is designed to alleviate the administrative burdens on operators, allowing them to focus on operational efficiency and growth while remaining aligned with regulatory demands.
