Portland, Oregon-based SeaPort Airlines just launched in June and uses a fleet of three small planes to shuttle passengers between Portland International and Seattle's Boeing Field. The Start-Up has partnered with the Columbia Land Trust in the Pacific Northwest to offset all emissions generated by its flights.
Rather than buying into a offset provider, SeaPort is getting green by donating the cash that it would otherwise spend on offsets to the Columbia Land Trust's local Working Forest Initiative, which works to save large tracts of forests in the Northwest from commercial development.
The PC-12 fleet, built in Switzerland, excel in their fuel consumption, or rather their lack of fuel consumption. The average flight burns just 51 gallons, which means that even a small upstart like SeaPort can afford to pay for its emissions.
