In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year.

QuickNet Air Flies Carbon Neutral With JetOffsets' Carbon Offsets Solution
Owner Jan Synnersten Leads His Jet Charter Service Company Into Environmental Accountability

SANTA BARBARA, CA and VASTERAS, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 04/07/09 -- QuickNet Air, one of Sweden's premier jet charter services announced today that they have offset the carbon dioxide emissions from their fixed wing aircraft utilizing JetOffsets(TM) -- www.jetoffsets.com -- the aviation industry's complete solution for offsetting carbon emissions. Jan Synnersten, QuickNet Air's owner and AM, is adamant about flying in an environmentally responsible fashion because of the value it brings to his company and his brand through the increased revenue that comes from the additional marketing opportunities created when communicating this carbon neutral message to clients.

"We have the responsibility to fly our clients safely to their destination and back," said Mr. Synnersten, "and we take the approach that we can do this in an environmentally responsible manner. To meet this goal we have decided to incorporate the JetOffsets solution -- offsetting every single flying hour with QuickNet Air. QuickNet Air performs this service on behalf of all our clients, providing protection and value to their image and brand as well."

With a fleet comprised of both fixed wing and helicopter airships, QuickNet Air flies its clients to every city in Europe throughout the day. The aircraft then waits at the destination until the client is ready to depart; the timing of the journey home is fully open to the client. It only takes a phone call to the crew when the client wants to head for home or to the next destination. This flexibility saves time for busy executives and creates more opportunities to live a fulfilling life with family and friends.

Reducing the carbon footprint in all of the company's areas of operations is important to QuickNet Air. "We reduce our carbon footprint in many ways, in our headquarters operation, in our hangar and in the way we plan our flight routes. In those areas where we cannot reduce anymore we offset," continued Mr. Synnersten. "We selected JetOffsets because they utilize only fully verified, high quality offsets and they are skilled at working with flight operations around the world. Fast, flexible and professional -- just like QuickNet Air," he concluded.

Bryan Crane, JetOffsets' Managing Director, said, "We are pleased to provide QuickNet Air with a complete carbon offsets solution -- including a marketing and awareness component that delivers a competitive edge that helps increase revenue and enhance the reputation of the flight operation. Our mission is to help the aviation community assume a leadership role in resolving one of our more pressing challenges -- reducing green house gasses across the globe. We offer aviators a fast and price competitive means of offsetting their emissions."
