Since January 2023, Swiss Helicopter AG has been operating all passenger flights exclusively CO2-compensated. This involves the use of biochar, which is largely produced in Switzerland and removes and binds CO2 from the atmosphere in the long term. With this important step, the company is doing important pioneering work in Swiss helicopter flying together with its customers, which is now being expanded.

Thanks to the consistent implementation of the sustainability strategy, over 1,400 tonnes of CO2 have been removed from the air in recent months. This remarkable figure underlines Swiss Helicopter's firm commitment to climate protection. Pilot training and check flights, which have been completely CO2-compensated over the past two years, also represent an important part of the CO2 compensation already achieved.

From 1 April 2025, Swiss Helicopter AG will now extend this environmentally friendly approach to all of the flight school's training flights. This means that in future, all training and further training flights by prospective and already licensed pilots will also be carried out in a CO2-compensated manner. Charter flights by private pilots will also be CO2-compensated in future as a result of this step.

This step will almost double the amount of CO2 offset. The corresponding certificates with plants have already been guaranteed by the supplier from Switzerland for the coming years.

With this initiative, Swiss Helicopter AG is making an important contribution to the important reduction of emissions in the aviation sector in addition to the continuous reduction of CO2.
