Going Green

We know that a huge part of our success is because of the beauty of the West Coast experience we offer – an experience that we want to protect and support for generations to come. It’s why we are so strongly committed to being an industry leader on sustainable initiatives.

 

OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY 

Harbour Air has a long history of pioneering innovation in sustainability.

Since 2007, Harbour Air has proudly maintained carbon neutrality by working with Ostrom Climate to quantify and offset GHG emissions. On behalf of our passengers, Harbour Air purchased high-quality carbon offsets to offset emissions associated with its fuel consumption as well as corporate footprint (offices, terminals, employee commute, electricity, other fuels, etc.). Harbour Air thanks our passengers and Ostrom Climate for this partnership and helping us to achieve and maintain our goal of being “Carbon Neutral”.

In 2019, we began investing in the e-plane program, aiming to make electric propulsion viable for air passengers. We made history on December 10, 2019 when we flew the world’s first fully electric commercial aircraft out of Richmond, BC. Through the innovative e-plane program, we lead the charge in advancing the essential technologies, expertise, and operational capacity for electric aviation. Just as the electrification of ground transportation is recognized as pivotal in achieving our national and societal climate goals, electric aviation marks a significant leap forward.

April is Earth Month, a time to celebrate the environment and take action to protect it for generations to come. Stay tuned as we will be announcing the next step in our carbon journey in April, 2024.
