(Logic Jets) – The private jet charter sector, better known for its excesses, now has its own green startup. Logic Jets, a newly created jet charter service provider, will offset 100% of the pollution generated by its charter flights, without raising its prices. The company has partnered with Carbonfund.org, a leading provider of carbon offsets, to achieve this goal.

“Luxury and safety have always been our top priorities in this industry,” says Logic Jets founder, Luke Ferber, “But those should not be our only priorities. In today’s world, we need to take into consideration the environment and how we affect it. We plan to reduce our emissions to a minimum and offset what remains.” The luxury jet charter industry is well known for its inefficient use of fossil fuels. While commercial airlines usually fly at 80% capacity, private jet charters often times fly empty, creating excess pollution without providing service to passengers.

Ferber’s goal is to maintain competitive pricing and high-end service while incorporating the cost of offsetting emissions. Logic Jets employs a computer algorithm to seek out the most efficient way to move air travelers so that both emissions and costs are reduced. In effect, the cost of carbon offsets is itself offset by the lower cost of sourcing jets, so customers get the value they deserve without paying extra.

“Why have to choose between guilt and sacrifice?” asks Ferber. “I say get great luxury and service while giving back to Mother Nature.”

Logic Jets is an environmentally-friendly private charter company established on December 8, 2008. The company philosophy is based around the idea that the environment should not be ignored in the face of luxurious service and quality. The company is founded on the belief that a modern charter service can use superior technology and a positive outlook to provide great service to customers and do something good for the planet. The official company website is www.logicjets.com.

The company was founded by Luke Ferber, an experienced entrepreneur with a track record of success and a passion for environmental issues. Ferber led a chain of wellness centers for thirteen years, before his love of aviation led him to the charter business. Ferber was equally successful as an executive vice president at another charter company, but his entrepreneurial instincts and his concern for sustainability led him to create his own jet charter service.
