Aviator Awarded ECOSmart Gold Accreditation for Third Year Running

We are profoundly honoured to announce that Aviator has been awarded the ECOsmart Gold award for the third year running, a prestigious accreditation that reaffirms our position as a leader in sustainable hospitality within the UK.

As we look ahead to 2026, this accolade stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to harmonising high-end sophistication with a deep-rooted respect for our environment. As a business, we have pledged, alongside our partners Farnborough Airport and The Swan, to become Net Zero by 2030.

THE GOLD STANDARD OF SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY

The ECOsmart Gold award, powered by Greengage, is a rigorous certification granted only to those venues that demonstrate a comprehensive and innovative approach to environmental protection. For Aviator, maintaining this status for three consecutive years is not a static achievement, but a continuous journey of refinement.

Our philosophy is simple: to provide an enchanting escape where our guests can indulge in the finer things in life, confident in the knowledge that their stay supports a greener tomorrow. From the sleek, aviation-inspired architecture to the panoramic views of the Farnborough runway, every element of our venue is being meticulously optimised for a net-zero future.

UNVEILING CULINARY ARTISTRY WITH CONSCIENCE

In the Brasserie, our seasoned expertise extends beyond the plate. We believe that gastronomic excellence begins with the source. Our culinary team takes pride in:

• Zero-Waste Ambitions: Transforming unavoidable food waste into biogas and fertiliser through our specialist partnerships, ensuring a circular lifecycle for our ingredients.
• Plastic-Free Dining: Eliminating single-use plastics in favour of elegant, sustainable alternatives, from cardboard milk cartons to our sophisticated Brita on-site water filtration system.
