TransGlobal Airlines in 10 Years (2035) with Respect to Sustainability Measures
By 2035, TransGlobal Airlines envisions being a leader in sustainable private charter aviation, demonstrating measurable progress against our strategic goal. This future state will include:
- Significant Decarbonization of Flight Operations:
- Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Integration: A substantial portion (e.g., 20-30%) of our fuel consumption will be SAF, driven by long-term purchase agreements and partnerships with SAF producers. We will have actively participated in advocating for supportive policy frameworks for SAF production and deployment.
- Fleet Modernization: A significant percentage of our older, less fuel-efficient corporate jets will have been replaced or retrofitted with newer, more aerodynamic models equipped with advanced, more efficient engines. We will have strategically evaluated the energy efficiency of acquired fleets and implemented plans to upgrade or retire less sustainable aircraft.
- Exploring Future Propulsion: We will have begun preliminary testing or established clear roadmaps for the adoption of hybrid-electric or potentially even fully electric short-range aircraft for specific charter routes, especially for smaller jets, as technology matures.
