Loganair has donated £3,500 to a Co Fermanagh community services charity.
The Aisling Centre, in Enniskillen, which delivers vital mental health services, will use the funds to make its 120-year old building more energy efficient.
The donation comes from The GreenSkies Community Fund – which forms part of Loganair’s environmental programme. The programme includes measures raning from carbon offsetting to investing in future flight technologies to help achieve an ambitious target of Loganair becoming net zero by 2040.
Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: “Congratulations to each of the successful applicants who have been awarded in our latest round of GreenSkies Community Fund grants. Each of the organisations have shown a dedication to supporting their communities and we are pleased to be able to assist them in reaching their environmental goals through this scheme.
“Loganair sits at the forefront of pushing for new technologies in the aviation industry which will lessen the environmental impact of flying, and support our goal of reaching net zero by 2040. It is important to us not only to reach this goal as an airline, but to offer support to the communities we serve to see them achieve their own sustainability goals.
“We received a huge number of applications for this round of funding, and we would like to thank everyone who took the time to apply.”
Loganair’s GreenSkies programme was launched in July 2021 with the introduction of a small mandatory carbon offsetting charge levied on all flights, with the money invested in accredited offsetting schemes.
To date, Loganair has invested over £80,500 in community renewable projects through its GreenSkies Community Fund. The donation to The Aisling Centre is part of a wider £23,000 distribution to 7 community-focused projects across Ireland and the UK.
