Key Takeaways:

Wheels Up is launching a new program allowing charter customers to contribute to the purchase of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to reduce their carbon footprint.
The initiative aims to increase demand for SAF, currently a scarce resource, to help scale its production and broader use in the aviation industry.
SAF is a renewable, "drop-in" fuel made from non-petroleum sources that can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel.
Wheels Up will procure SAF through Delta Air Lines, a partial owner, and is partnering with the software platform Choose to implement the program.

Private aviation company Wheels Up is starting a new program aimed at supporting and generating demand for sustainable aviation fuel.

Wheels Up charter customers looking to reduce their carbon footprint will now have the opportunity to contribute to the purchase of SAF as part of their booking. The contributions will help Wheels Up obtain SAF from Delta Air Lines, which is building up its own supply of SAF and plans to use the fuel for 10 percent of its filling needs by 2030.
