BP Target Neutral provides carbon offsets for Delta Air Lines first carbon-neutral delivery of new aircraft
Taking delivery of new aircraft is always a special moment for an airline company
It was made even more special in July for Delta Air Lines, when the first of twenty of its new aircraft – an Airbus A321 - made a carbon neutral delivery flight from its final assembly line in Alabama to Delta’s facility in Kansas City, US.
Delta turned to Air BP to supply biofuels for the delivery flights. Air BP is supplying sustainable aviation fuel, produced by Neste, for 20 delivery flights. BP Target Neutral then arranged the carbon offsets required for the delivery flights to become carbon neutral.
