Private jet charter company VistaJet has outlined plans to reach carbon neutrality by 2025 in a bid to get the aviation industry's sustainability goals off the ground.

"This is really one of the problems with corporate jets. Some of these empty flights can be up to 50% versus a shared model where it's constantly optimized," he noted. While commercial airlines may take several years to return to full capacity due to the pandemic, companies like VistaJet can now operate smaller planes at full capacity, he said.
