Corendon, SKYNRG, and CHOOOSE launch SAF solution for holiday travelers to fly more sustainably

• Travel company Corendon partners up with SkyNRG and CHOOOSE, enabling Corendon’s holiday travelers to reduce their carbon emissions from flying. By supporting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) during booking, travelers can enjoy their holidays more sustainably.

Making the holiday flight more sustainable is simple. During the booking process, Corendon travelers can simply check a box to help reduce part of their carbon emissions by supporting SAF (on average, 3%). Or — they can enter their travel details via the online Fly on SAF tool at another time. The tool automatically estimates the carbon emissions of the flight and offers travelers the choice whether their carbon emissions should be partially or completely addressed by contributing towards SAF.

CHOOOSE’s enterprise-grade APIs are used to power the carbon emissions estimates and provide the option to help accelerate the use of SAF in Corendon’s digital booking process and on their website. The only input needed from the traveler is the flight itinerary. With SkyNRG’s Fly on SAF solution, Corendon is able to track, report and analyze the total impact across all integrated channels.

SkyNRG uses a system for supplying SAF called Book & Claim. With this system, SAF is not used on the specific aircraft the travelers fly on, but rather, tanked into the fuel system of an airport close to the SAF production facility. The SAF is tracked and the corresponding carbon emission reductions are allocated to Corendon’s holiday travelers. Benefits of this system include its ability to help reduce unnecessary carbon emissions and costs drive by fuel transport. By partnering with SkyNRG and CHOOOSE, Corendon enables its holiday travelers to help scale the use of SAF in proportion to the estimated carbon emissions associated with their flights, and enjoy their holidays more sustainably, when and wherever they fly.

"Even with small steps, each step is one towards a less polluting future for aviation. I am proud that we can offer this via the SkyNRG and CHOOOSE Platform."

Steven van der Heijden, CEO of Corendon says, “Making aviation more sustainable is difficult, but every step counts. To reduce air travel emissions a little bit, we, as a company, have invested in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and from today on, our customers can do the same. We can reduce our lifecycle carbon emissions by supporting SAF and our customers now also have the choice whether they want to take action on part of their environmental impact. Even with small steps, each step is one towards a less polluting future for aviation. I am proud that we can offer this via the SkyNRG and CHOOOSE platform.”
