Setting out on October 5 from Tanzania, Hosari is pledging to donate one US dollar for every meter of the 20,000 ft. (6,096 meter) mountain climbed towards IBAC’s aviation sustainability awareness and education programmes.  The first workshop is scheduled to take place during ABACE 2020, in collaboration with the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA) where Hosari is also a board member.

“Our industry has a responsibility to find solutions which will ensure longevity for the sector, but even more importantly, to contribute to protect the planet’s future,” said Hosari.

“Aviation, especially business aviation, where our company has been active for two decades, is regularly criticised for its carbon footprint.  We are making great strides in identifying ways to reduce emissions with the aim of becoming more carbon neutral to reduce the environmental impact - with sustainable aviation fuel and the terrific initiative from the SAF Coalition leading the charge.”
