Bergisch Gladbach, 16th of January 2023. The charter provider PAS has been certified according to the globally recognised environmental management standard ISO 14001 for the first time. The auditors particularly emphasised the ecological aspects in the procurement of products and services.
The company spent ten months working towards the certificate. The PAS team in Bergisch Gladbach developed its own environmental management system for the ISO award, with which it can achieve and improve its environmental goals.
“We are aware that emissions and resources on air travel are an important indicator for the environmental balance. We want to reduce these step by step,” says Managing Director Birte Kipke. On the one hand, by only working with suppliers and service providers who comply with environmental requirements. On the other hand, by informing customers about the environmental balance of the products and offering compensation. Since mid-2022, all flight offers automatically receive two prices: one with and one without CO2 compensation.
SAF: First broker with sustainable aviation fuel
New and so far unique in the private flight segment, PAS also offers additional refuelling with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), if available at the departure airport. The fuel is not based on fossil fuels, but on biomass or fatty plants. “Although SAF is not yet available nationwide, sustainable fuel is already a pioneering ray of hope for our industry,” says Kipke.
In order to be certified, the daily office routine must also be designed sustainably. PAS limits its paper consumption as much as possible, uses green electricity in the office and at trade fairs, and is supported by an environmental management officer.
Environmental standard complements existing quality standard
In addition to the new ISO 14001 standard, the charter provider has already been certified with its quality management system according to ISO 9001 for five years. In December, the award was confirmed again. PAS quality management covers all stages of the flight journey: Contact history, quotation generation, booking, flight briefing, supplier evaluation and customer feedback.

The environmental management system of PAS in Bergisch Gladbach was certified according to the globally recognised environmental management standard ISO 14001 for the first time in December 2022.
We spent ten months working towards the certificate ISO 14001, the environmental standard of the International Organisation for Standardisation. It specifies requirements for an environmental management system with which a company can achieve and improve its environmental goals. The auditors examined all processes of our newly introduced system. For example, ecological aspects in the procurement of products and services.
Flight compensation and, for the first time, sustainable aviation fuels
We are aware that emissions and resource consumption in the transport sector are an important indicator for the environmental balance. We want to reduce these step by step. Firstly, by communicating our environmental requirements to suppliers and service providers and regularly monitoring their compliance. We give preference to companies that are also certified according to ISO14001. On the other hand, we inform our customers about the environmental balance of the products and suggest possible alternatives. Wherever possible, we compensate for or reduce CO2 emissions. For example, by using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), if available at the departure airport. Such sustainable aviation fuels are not based on fossil fuels, but from biomass or fatty plants. We are the first German broker to deal intensively with the topic of SAF and offer customers the opportunity to have their aircraft fueled with SAF. Compared to fossil paraffin, SAF saves up to one third of CO2 emissions. Currently, SAF is still mixed with conventional paraffin.
Environmentally friendly office
In order to be certified, everyday office life must also be designed sustainably. We limit our paper consumption as much as possible. If something does need to be copied or printed, we use 100 percent recycled paper from Europe. For environmentally friendly advertising materials and printed materials, we use a service provider that is also certified according to ISO14001. In the office and for trade fair stands (especially IBTM and IMEX), we use 100 per cent green electricity. In other everyday office activities, too, each member of the PAS team contributes to making our company even more sustainable and environmentally friendly. An environmental management officer at PAS supports us in this. We take compliance with our goals and the internal and external audits very seriously.
Environmental standard complements existing quality standard
In addition to the new ISO 14001 standard, we have already been certified with our quality management system according to ISO 9001 for five years. In December, this was confirmed again. Our quality management is based on a system programmed especially for us. It includes all stages of the flight journey: Contact history, quote generation, booking, flight briefing, supplier evaluation and customer feedback. Since mid-2022, all offers automatically receive two prices: with and without CO2 compensation. It is important to us to make every customer aware of the cost-effective offsetting of the flight. We also point out the possibility of refueling with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). We make our customers aware of any solution that helps to reduce resource consumption and CO2- emissions.
Bergisch Gladbach, November 7, 2022.
The Basques are known for being open to new ideas. Whether in art, cuisine or the event market. In October, five German MICE agencies took a closer look at what the Basque Country has to offer. The trip was organised by the Spanish tourist office Tourspain and the Convention Bureau in San Sebastián. The charter provider PAS was there and sponsored a helicopter flight along the coast.
“No matter whether the passengers are travelling for business or pleasure: A helicopter flight is a unique experience for everyone,” tells PAS Managing Director Birte Kipke. The Basque Country, with its picturesque towns, deep forests and cliffs jutting out of the sea, is particularly well suited for a sightseeing flight. “Here, travelers discover a particularly diverse landscape in a small space,” she says. The company also offers such a sightseeing flight as part of an incentive, business, conference or event trip.
The trip also focused on the city of San Sebastián, the coastal town of Hondarribia on the border with France, as well as various museums (for example, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao) and culinary experiences. Other experiences included visiting a star-rated restaurant and a cooking school, which can also be booked for an event trip.
Information about the tour and other highlights of the info trip can be found in a blog article published at www.pasflights.com/en/pas-inside/.

New cooperation: PAS and Hetzel Horses want to use synergies
Bergisch Gladbach/Goch, October 28, 2022 – The charter provider Professional Aviation Solutions (PAS) and the entrepreneur Holger Hetzel (Hetzel Horses) are now joining forces. This is made possible by a new cooperation that creates added value for both sides. Potential horse buyers will be flown to renowned stables by private jets. Hetzel’s international show jumping auction in Goch, Rhineland, will also be accessible in the future by a private flight organised by PAS. Weeze airport is also very close by.
“Hetzel Horses and PAS share common values,” says Birte Kipke, Managing Director of the charter provider. “We work professionally and seriously in our areas of expertise – and both offer a high level of service. ” The target group also unites the new partners. “We serve many businesses and private customers, as does Hetzel Horses,” she adds.
Holger Hetzel always has 25 talented show jumpers of all levels for sale in his stable. In addition, he and his team organize show jumping competitions and auctions, which are attended by elite riders and horse buyers from all over the world. “We are always looking for ways to take Hetzel Horses’ services further,” Holger Hetzel tells us. He says that a quick and convenient journey is particularly important when preparing to buy a horse. “With PAS, we can offer our customers a special service with an experience factor,” the Nations Cup rider continues. From now on, his customers no longer have to worry about getting to the equestrian facility themselves. They can quickly reach the destination with PAS flights to Weeze Airport.
About Hetzel Horses
Hetzel Horses operates an international equestrian centre in Goch, Lower Rhine. The company was founded in 1986 by Holger Hetzel. The core business is the training as well as the purchase and sale of high-quality show jumping horses. In addition, Holger Hetzel and his team offer training programs for riders in Germany and abroad. Regular tournaments and events take place at the equestrian facility. The highlight is the annual show jumping auction in November. Further information is available at www.holger-hetzel.de.

To the meeting to San Sebastián: Top event managers with us in the Basque country
The Basques are known for skillfully combining cultural traditions and new ideas. Gastronomy is the best example of this. Additionally, the film festivals as well as the many modern art museums reveal the potential for events and meetings that the northern Spanish region offers.
Together with the Spanish Tourist Board Tourspain and the Convention Bureau in San Sebastián, we visited the Basque Country with five event planners from MICE agencies. Part of the trip was a helicopter flight over the Cantabrian coast organised by PAS.
Accompanied with the best weather, our tour started in the garden of the restaurant Aspaldiko in Loiu (aspaldiko.com). The restaurant is an example of traditional Basque architecture and is considered an architectural monument in the region. In San Sebastián, the owners of the luxurious five-star Hotel Maria Cristina (marriott.com/en-us/hotels/easlc-hotel-maria-cristina-a-luxury-collection-hotel-san-sebastian) welcomed us. Opened in 1912, the hotel preserves the atmosphere of the Belle Époque with aristocratic flair and views of the Urumea River. Many famous film stars have stayed here during the San Sebastian International Film Festival. This major event takes place every September (sansebastianfestival.com).
From here it is not far to the fishing quarter of San Sebastián. The Concha, with its shell-shaped beach and fashionable promenade, is considered an emblematic landmark. At the same time, the center with its Belle Époque buildings makes the city one of the most attractive on the Cantabrian coast.
Of course, there are other places worth seeing around San Sebastián. For example, the picturesque coastal town of Hondarribia. It belongs to the province of Gipuzkoa and is located on the river Bidasoa, which forms the border with France. Surrounded by a city wall, the old town center with its noble palaces has been declared a historic ensemble.
Cantabrian coast from above: sightseeing helicopter flight with PAS
To get an impression of the beautiful and diverse Cantabrian coast, we organized a helicopter flight for the event planners. High up and almost floating, we flew over the landscape. Passing idyllic beaches, autumn-coloured forests and picturesque towns. A truly unique experience. We also offer such helicopter flights as part of an incentive, business, conference or event trip.
Variety of historical and modern museums
Back on the land, further excursion destinations were on the program. For example, the visit to the Chillida Leku Museum. The sculptor Eduardo Chillida created this museum and his studio around the farmhouse Zabalaga and its extensive garden. Or a boat trip to the Albaola Museum: with the construction of historic ships as its main theme, Albaola is an innovative museum where traditional techniques around shipbuilding are preserved. Of course, a visit to the famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is not to be missed.
Culinary stronghold of the Spanish Haute Cuisine
In addition, there are many gourmet experiences that the Basque Country offers at every turn. Whether it’s cod, tuna stew or sheep’s cheese: the Basques have a fondness for good food. The fine cuisine has made a name for itself internationally. After all, no culinary enthusiast will miss the fact that several Michelin-starred chefs have set up shop here.
Another gastronomic highlight are the pintxos. These are culinary creations in miniature format, which are advertised at countless food counters. For the locals, however, these are appetizers before the main meal.
If you want to get culinary creative yourself, you can take part in a cooking competition at Restaurant Mimo. Mimo Bite the Experience (mimo.eus) is a cooking school with more than 400 square meters of space where groups can hold gastronomic events.
