California-based service provider Clay Lacy Aviation was recently acknowledged for its sustainability efforts by NBAA. Included among its adaptations was its use of sustainable aviation fuel.

As the topic of sustainability looms larger in the psyche of the aviation industry, the question is no longer whether, but when.

Fifteen years ago this month, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) announced their Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change (BACCC), establishing aggressive industry targets to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In 2021, it was updated to include the business aviation industry pledge for net-zero carbon neutrality by 2050.
