VNY Hosts First Bizav SAJF Event
The day-long event highlighted the fuel's use for business aviation. A similar gathering is planned for the UK's Farnborough Airport this spring.
Castle & Cooke was one of the four Van Nuys Airport FBOs that participated in the sustainable alternative jet fuel event on Jan. 17th, along with Signature Flight Support, Jet Aviation and Clay Lacy Aviation. Its tanker was decorated with special sustainable fuel markings for the occasion. All told, Avfuel and World Fuel Services provided more than 14,000 gallons of blended renewable fuel for the event.

The business aviation industry directed its focus last month to California’s Van Nuys Airport, where the event Business Jets Fuel Green: A Step Towards Sustainability took place. The occasion marked the first time sustainable alternative jet fuel (SAJF) was made available to business aircraft at a public airport. VNY was chosen for the trial debut due to the environmental consciousness of the airport as well the state of California, in general.
