Sustainability

At Pelorus Aviation, we are working to scale solutions which are predicted to play a pivotal role in the decarbonisation of the aviation industry.

Embracing a future-focused approach, our partners have been carefully selected on their commitment to investing in cutting-edge, fuel-efficient aircraft and technology, as well as their ambition to implement operational practices aimed at reducing environmental impact.

 Transparency is key and, working with Greenly, we calculate the emissions from each trip, reporting the environmental impact to our clients. As an organisation, we report on our own progress to foster accountability. Pelorus Aviation is not just about luxury travel; it's about responsible, forward-thinking aviation that respects our planet.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Through our partnership with Neste, the world’s largest producer of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), we enable our clients the opportunity to purchase SAF and, in doing so, contribute to the widespread adoption of one of the most advanced emission-reduction technologies available.

If you choose to opt-in to purchase SAF fuel on your booking and Pelorus Aviation will match your contribution up to 10%.*

*with a maximum of 6 passenger and aircrafts travelling up to 1450km.

Climate Investment Fund

In partnership with the Pelorus Foundation and Greenly, we measure your trip’s footprint and invest in the Climate Investment Fund, a bespoke portfolio of nature-based, hybrid, and tech-led carbon removal projects. This ensures your travel helps scale pioneering permanent methods of carbon capture whilst supporting communities most impacted by climate change.

"Bringing these new, more sustainable innovations to clients and supporting the mass adoption of such practices is something that we at Pelorus see as our duty and a key role we can play in ushering in a more conscious age of luxury travel.

Transfrontier Ranger & Air Support Program

A Case Study with Pelorus Foundation

Spanning South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, the Transfrontier Ranger & Air Support Program integrates aviation into frontline conservation efforts - protecting one of the world’s most at-risk rhino populations.

In partnership with Frontier and GKEPF (Greater Kruger Environmental Protection Foundation), Pelorus Foundation is helping to build a cross-border anti-poaching system across the Central Lowveld.

Helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft provide rapid response and deterrence over vast, remote terrain, acting as force multipliers for ranger teams. Over 100 rangers have been trained in aerial tactics, ground-to-air coordination, and advanced command systems, boosting real-time effectiveness.

The program also delivers holistic ranger training, including K9 tracking, medical response, and crime-scene procedures, creating a well-rounded enforcement model.

Focused on securing the region’s largest rhino population, this initiative is building a long-term refuge, where air-enabled law enforcement, skilled rangers, and improved coordination are reversing crisis trends in wildlife protection.
