Sun Air Jets KVNY Receives NATA Green Aviation Business Certification

Sun Air Jets is excited to announce that its Van Nuys location (KVNY) has also been certified as a Green Aviation Business with Tier 1 status by the National Air Transportation Association (NATA). This is the second location to achieve this exciting designation for Sun Air Jets. The company worked with the NATA to evaluate and meet the standards for its Sustainability Standard for Aviation Businesses in 2021 for the Camarillo (KCMA) location.

The NATA Sustainability Standard for Aviation Businesses is a new sustainability initiative, developed in 2021, created to provide FBOs, airports, and other aviation businesses a self-certification process for pursuing flexible, cost-effective options to lower their carbon footprint.

Developed by a working group under NATA’s Environment Committee, the NATA Sustainability Standard for Aviation Businesses is a free industry standard designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including CO2), increase use of more environmentally friendly energy sources, reduce waste, and encourage sustainability operation-wide.

The addition of the new green building certified hangars and the facilities on Roscoe Boulevard at the Van Nuys Airport greatly expands the size of Sun Air Jets’ footprint of available space and presence in the Los Angeles area. The two adjoining hangars each have an attached private terminal and office and provide 71,0000 square feet of new space over 4.4 acres. Designed to offer a superior level of luxury and sophistication, the new Van Nuys facilities offer private offices, lounges, conference meeting rooms, gated guest parking.

To further reduce their carbon footprint, Sun Air Jets continues to regularly make beneficial adjustments. Additional electric vehicle charging stations and FloWater refillable water stations have recently been installed at all of their greater Los Angeles area locations.
