With sustainability a key focus at this year’s EBACE, Avfuel played a role in providing sustainable fuel (SAF) for aircraft that headed to the business aviation show in Geneva. It collaborated with three major business aircraft manufacturers—Dassault Falcon Jet, Embraer Executive Jets, and Textron Aviation—to provide their flight departments with Neste SAF before their transatlantic flights, with respective delivery locations in Little Rock, Arkansas (KLIT); Melbourne, Florida (KMLB); and Wichita, Kansas (KICT).

With an average 30 percent SAF blend ratio, those EBACE-designated fuel loads provided a 76-tonne reduction in life cycle carbon emissions—equivalent to the emissions from using 176 barrels of oil. In addition to the physical deliveries, the company also arranged with Atlantic Aviation to provide SAF reporting benefits through the book-and-claim process for Geneva-bound aircraft departing its FBO at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, New York.
