Atlantic Aviation, which operates the sole FBO at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (KASE) in Colorado, has nearly electrified its entire fleet of ramp service equipment there. The company has introduced battery-powered ground power units, which, in addition to eliminating noise pollution, will also save 180 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year.

The chain has also stationed some of the industry’s first all-electric refuelers—unveiled at NBAA’s Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference earlier this year—at the location.
