SAF is Key for Reducing Carbon Emissions
Sustainable aviation fuel is slowly but surely making inroads in business aviation.

Although the point has been repeated over and over, there are many pilots and aircraft operators that need to understand a basic fact about sustainable aviation fuel (SAF): it is a jet fuel, explained Keith Sawyer, Avfuel manager of alternative fuels. “SAF is approved by OEMs and ASTM and is recommended by the FAA, EASA, and other international aviation safety agencies.” So far, more than 400,000 flights have occurred using SAF, which is really quite remarkable," he said.

Sawyer, speaking yesterday via remote video at AIN’s Building a Sustainable Flight Department Conference in Tarrytown, New York, said that “SAF for business and general aviation is becoming increasingly important for us.”
