A Carbon Neutral Airline

Harbour Air Ltd., the world’s largest all-seaplane airline operating service
between Victoria, BC and points around British Columbia, has pledged to
become completely carbon neutral by the end of 2007. Starting October 1,
2007, Harbour Air began purchasing high quality carbon offsets to mitigate
the climate impact of all scheduled service, charter and tour operations.
This made Harbour Air the first air carrier of any variety in North America
and the only seaplane airline in the world to make all of its flight
services 100% carbon neutral. This year to date, Harbour Air has contributed
over $15,000 CDN to carbon neutral programs and is further pledging to
offset its corporate emissions to become the first carrier in the world to
achieve complete carbon neutrality in all aspects of its business. Harbour
Air Seaplanes will institute a policy to track, reduce, and offset its
corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by January 1, 2008.
