Luxaviation Belgium is taking a major step forward in its sustainability strategy by integrating Azzera’s CELESTE platform with its flight scheduling software. Optimizing an Application Programming Interface technology, the seamless connection transforms flight and fuel data into real-time emissions insights, enabling Luxaviation Belgium to give passengers the option to select sustainable aviation fuel and carbon credits, and for the operator to deliver measurable climate action without added operational complexity.

Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group, commented: “Sustainability is a cornerstone of Luxaviation’s strategy. Our partnership with Azzera gives our clients transparent and credible solutions toreduce their environmental footprint. With CELESTE, we can align with key regulatory frameworks, strengthen our SAF offering, and provide tangible options across the Group.”

Ward Bonduel, CEO of Luxaviation Belgium, stated: “Connecting our flight scheduling software to CELESTE has transformed how we manage compliance and sustainability: automatic flight and fuel data give us real-time visibility intoour ReFuelEU and ETS obligations so that we can act on them immediately. It’s efficient and accurate, and positionsBelgium at the forefront of sustainability innovation within the Group, reinforcing our long-term commitment to a more sustainable future.”

Puja Mahajan, CEO of Azzera said: “Our powerful suite of digital tools, accessible through a single interface, significantly reduces the time and manual work associated with emissions monitoring, reporting, and verification. We are delighted to be able to add valuable efficiencies to Luxaviation Belgium operations and look forward to supporting additional entities within the Luxaviation Group in their commitment to a sustainable future.” 

Luxaviation Belgium is one of the larger European entities within the Luxaviation Group, which in turn is one of the world’s largest operators of business aircraft and helicopters. The initial integration is anticipated to successfully demonstrate the benefits of CELESTE and provide a blueprint to support the integration of the platform by other Luxaviation Group entities. 

The API is already live, with CELESTE’s ReFuelEU dashboard supporting compliance and delivering operational value within Luxaviation’s Go-to-Zero journey. The CELESTE platform simplifies emissions management and ensures compliance by assigning each flight to the correct carbon market, generating accurate and validated flight data to support emissions management and mitigation, and enabling passengers to opt for carbon-neutral flights by choosing to uplift SAF and acquire authenticated carbon credits, without necessitating Luxaviation to manage physical inventory.
