Costa Rica’s NatureAir offers discounted tickets for children

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica— How about a “green” family vacation in the rainforest surrounded by breathtaking flora and fauna, warm sandy beaches, and of course the Majestic Arenal Volcano?  NatureAir the world’s first carbon neutral airline is making it easier for families to bring their children to Costa Rica.  NatureAir would like to announce that all children ages 2-11 years old can fly with NatureAir at 25% off the ticketed price.

“We are proud to say that NatureAir is the only airline in Costa Rica to offer this wonderful discount for children.  As a way to help families out year round this is not a limited time offer, because we know the traveling to Costa Rica as a family is an unforgettable experience,” said Alexi Huntley Commercial Director for NatureAir.

NatureAir is not only making it possible for parents to keep more money in the bank, it’s also helping them limit their carbon footprints.  100 % of its carbon emissions are compensated through the protection and reforestation of tropical forests in southern Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity zones of the Osa Pensinsula.  Since 2004, NatureAir has compensated for roughly 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide thru the protection of more than 400 acres of tropical forest. The company has also been able to reduce emissions by replacing light bulbs, limiting copy paper, recycling, and improving it’s flight plans in order to conserve more fuel, an improvement of roughly 4% in fuel efficiency per hour of flight.
     
While road travel is very difficult in Costa Rica, the thrill and ease of flying is unbeatable. Nature Air’s planes are fitted with panoramic windows that allow unobstructed views of the volcanic activity, tropical waterfalls and even simultaneous views of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.  Instead of spending hours in the car children can be running through the sand in under an hour.

NEW YORK (Nov. 28, 2007) – NatureAir announced today that it has joined the World Heritage Alliance for Sustainable Tourism (WHA).  The WHA is an industry-leading initiative; it was founded by Expedia, Inc. and the United Nations Foundation, to support UNESCO’s goal of promoting and protecting the 851 World Heritage sites around the world.

“NatureAir became carbon neutral three years ago and joining the WHA is very important to NatureAir, because as an airline - we are the link between destinations of origin and those of WHA sites and parks.  The fact that the aerial link is also sustainable and supporting the destination creates a true sustainable package,” says NatureAir Founder and CEO, Alex Khajavi.

NatureAir voluntarily compensates 100% of its carbon emissions, through its preservation of tropical forests.  In 2006 NatureAir was able to offset 6,320 tons of carbon output, and to date more than 65 acres of forests have been preserved.  The land is protected because of the funds NatureAir commits to local landowners.  In addition, NatureAir keeps their carbon output down by improvements made in their operations, scheduling and flight plans.

“We’re pleased to have NatureAir joining the partnership,” said Erika Harms, executive director of the World Heritage Alliance. “Together we have the power to reach millions of people around the world and help both preserve and protect some of the world’s most beautiful and significant sites.”

By the end of 2007, there will be 50 members and partners of the World Heritage Alliance for Sustainable Tourism – up from 17 in 2006 including, Expedia Inc. and the UN Foundation.  These members and partners will be working in 7 countries to aid in the conservation of at least 20 UNESCO World Heritage sites.

All WHA members were recognized this week at a series of events in New York, including a dinner and symposium discussing important issues related to World Heritage and sustainable tourism.

The WHA offers two levels of partnership, each being committed to advancing the WHA mission: WHA members and WHA associate partners. WHA members consist of travel industry companies, such as hotels, tour operators, travel agents, airlines and cruises, among others. WHA associate partners are NGOs, civil society groups, government bodies, industry associations and other organizations that may not exclusively be devoted to tourism.

Each WHA member is committed to:

•    Implementing the World Heritage Alliance principles, a set of guidelines developed in consultation between the UN Foundation, Expedia, UNESCO World Heritage Centre and National Geographic that foster greater attention to social, cultural and environmental sustainability within their business.
•    Participating in staff training programs by enrolling staff in occasional in-person or online training courses organized by the WHA that educate about the key issues related to World Heritage and sustainable tourism. 
•    Educating the traveling public about World Heritage by providing informational materials, exclusive packages to World Heritage destinations, volunteer opportunities with local communities, and the ability for customers to purchase goods and services that are rooted in local cultures and environments.
•    Supporting community development around World Heritage sites by working with local communities to build and enhance sustainable tourism opportunities for travelers and to provide markets for locally produced sustainable goods and services. 
•    Engaging employees to support the local community through WHA volunteer programs and other opportunities that allow employees to work side-by-side with community-based initiatives. 
•    Supporting the United Nations in its efforts to encourage sustainable tourism and the protection of World Heritage sites through the UNESCO World Heritage Convention.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica—Fly guilt free with NatureAir, the world’s only carbon neutral airline.  NatureAir, a family owned airline, is making history and National Geographic is taking notice.  NatureAir’s owner, Alex Khajavi, was picked as one of nine people that are helping to save the planet in National Geographic Adventure’s 2008 Green Edition.

NatureAir founded in 2000, now has seven efficient De Haviland Twin Otter Turboprops flying to 17 ecotourism destinations in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama.   Studies show that nature air outputs as much carbon in one year compared to what one commercial jet outputs from New York to London in 10 days!  NatureAir keeps their carbon output down by taxiing on one engine and minimizing idling.  The company also voluntarily compensate 100% of its carbon emissions, through its preservation of tropical forests.  Last year it was able to offset 6,320 tons of carbon output.

“If we can prove on a smaller scale that an airline can be sustainable, then maybe we can excite other airlines to follow.  We want our clients asking, ‘Why isn’t my international carrier doing this’?” says Khajavi.

The company is also working to save the planet by replacing light bulbs, limiting copy paper and recycling.  By going green the company as a whole has been able to additionally reduce carbon emissions by 10 percent.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica—NatureAir, the world’s only carbon neutral airline, is being recognized on the international level.  In June 2007, the International Community for Ecotourism honored NatureAir for being the first and only airline to voluntarily compensate 100% of its carbon emissions, through its conservation of tropical forests.  Climate change experts consider this as an offset through “avoided deforestation.”

The International Community for Ecotourism works to unite communities, conservation and sustainable travel.  This is exactly what NatureAir is doing to help save our environment.   Currently the company is helping conserve more than 130 hectares of tropical forest in the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica.  The land is protected because of the funds NatureAir commits to local landowners.  This way conservation can compete with clear cutting and ranching to provide these communities with a competitive income and not destroy the ecosystem or release more carbon into the atmosphere.

NatureAir became carbon neutral three years ago.  Since then the issue of climate change has gone from a fringe discussion to a global debate, NatureAir finds itself smack in the middle of it, “We decided to go carbon neutral because we wanted to help the environment and we saw an opportunity to remedy it,” says Chief Marketing Officer Alexi Huntley.  “The fact that we have become a catalyst for change is icing on the cake.”

In addition Huntley adds, “we are always looking for ways to improve our service and our status as an environmentally friendly airline.”
