Sustainable Aviation Fuel, offsets can help GE business aviation customers reduce their carbon footprint
Operators of GE’s Passport engine can reduce their carbon footprint with Sustainable Aviation Fuel and a new offset program.

What do 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and carbon offsets have in common? Now, they both relate to GE Aerospace’s Passport engine, a long-range business aviation turbofan. GE recently announced two major updates for the program: the successful completion of the first 100% SAF test with the Passport engine, and a new carbon offset program for customers — including operators of the Passport engine — in collaboration with 4AIR.

“Our customers can be confident that the Passport engine can help meet their sustainability goals to reduce CO2 emissions in flight, thanks to the Passport’s more fuel-efficient technologies compared to previous-generation business jet engines and ability to operate on lower-carbon fuels,” said Melvyn Heard, president of the Passport engine program for GE Aerospace.
