FBO Sonoma Jet Center at California's Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (KSTS) is staging a Green Fuel Day celebration to demonstrate the company’s commitment to cleaner aviation and the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Parent company Sonoma Aviation, which also operates the Carlsbad Jet Center, is kicking off its Green Week festivities by offering SAF today at KSTS at the same price as conventional jet-A, with the $2.50-per-gallon price delta covered by fuel provider Avfuel.

Sonoma Aviation has stocked California-produced SAF since 2021, with each truckload of 30 percent SAF fuel blend contributing to a 19-tonne decrease in net carbon emissions. This year, the company expects to sell more than 100,000 gallons of SAF.
