Le Bas’ Carbon-Zero JetCard (a pre-paid debit account) offers its clients the ability to book charter flights globally through a network of Le Bas’ approved system operators.

The Carbon-Zero JetCard can be used to charter a large range of aircraft from a turbo-prop to a large Airliner without the inconvenience of acquiring credit approval or transferring funds prior to departure.

All of the carbon emissions produced during each charter flight will be offset by a simple calculation of the aircraft’s C02 emissions been replaced through funding Terra Pass global projects. After each trip a certificate certifying that the carbon emissions were offset will be presented to each client.

Peter Le Bas, CEO of Le Bas International said: “As part of our corporate responsibility initiative we intend to neutralize all carbon emissions produced by our charter aircraft by December 2007, additional initiatives include utilizing wind power to produce electricity for our operations centers and eliminating the use of paper whenever possible.”

Tracey Deakin, COO of Le Bas International said: “We are very proud of our impeccable reputation for attention to detail, speed of locating the correct aircraft and of course our customer care. Our team has the experience to instantly recognize what type of aircraft best suits our clients needs and the knowledge of where to find it.”
