For business aircraft operators, the benefits of sustainability can extend beyond just having a smaller environmental footprint, Clay Lacy Aviation senior v-p of development and sustainability Scott Cutshall said yesterday at AIN’s Building a Sustainable Flight Department forum. In fact, the aircraft charter, management, MRO, and FBO company is starting to see a competitive advantage in the marketplace because of its sustainability efforts, not to mention that it is also helping to attract employees in a tight labor market, according to Cutshall.
