Jet Aviation is reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability within the business aviation sector by expanding the availability of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). In a recent announcement, Jet Aviation confirmed a new agreement with World Fuel Services to offer on-site SAF at its Fixed Base Operations (FBOs) in Bozeman, Montana, and Scottsdale, Arizona. This move signifies a significant step forward in making sustainable aviation solutions more accessible to Aviation Partners Saf and clients across the United States.
This agreement builds upon Jet Aviation’s existing SAF offerings and demonstrates a proactive approach to reducing the carbon footprint of air travel. By securing a long-term SAF supply from World Fuel Services for these key locations, Jet Aviation is providing customers with a tangible option to minimize their environmental impact when flying to Bozeman and Scottsdale. This initiative complements their current SAF availability at the Jet Aviation FBO in Van Nuys, California, further solidifying their leadership in sustainable aviation practices. SAF is noteworthy as a direct replacement for conventional jet fuel, meeting the same rigorous industry standards and specifications of Jet A/A-1 fuel, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing aircraft technology.

Richard Layson, Vice President Regional FBO Operations at Jet Aviation, emphasized the importance of this expansion: “I am delighted to be able to offer customers travelling to Bozeman, Scottsdale, and Van Nuys the choice to fuel with SAF on-site. As two of the newest additions to our FBO network, Bozeman and Scottsdale represent our continued efforts to offer our customers a range of services. We will continue to partner to increase SAF access and availability across our network in areas where our supplies are easily accessible.” This statement highlights Jet Aviation’s dedication to customer service and proactive approach to incorporating sustainable solutions within their growing network.
Jet Aviation has been at the forefront of SAF adoption, having offered SAF as a blended fuel option in Van Nuys since 2019. This new agreement elevates their commitment by providing customers the ability to purchase from a dedicated SAF inventory not only in California but now also on-site in Bozeman and Scottsdale. This dedicated inventory ensures consistent availability and underscores the growing demand for sustainable aviation solutions among business aviation partners saf.
David Best, Vice President Regional Operations and General Manager Americas, further articulated Jet Aviation’s broader sustainability vision: “Jet Aviation is committed to supporting sustainable aviation and contributing towards our industry’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions. We all have a role to play in this global effort and collaboration is key to success. We are very excited to partner with World Fuel Services to bring even more sustainable choices to our US customers.” This quote emphasizes the collaborative spirit necessary to achieve meaningful reductions in aviation emissions and positions Jet Aviation as an active participant in this global endeavor.

At World Fuel Services, we are focused on broadening the availability of lower carbon alternatives and we see SAF as a key enabler for taking immediate action to support the decarbonization of air travel.” This statement reinforces World Fuel Services’ commitment to providing lower carbon solutions and their crucial role as aviation partners saf in facilitating the transition to sustainable fuels.

This innovative service allows customers to access the environmental benefits of SAF even where physical supply is not yet available, further expanding the reach of their sustainable aviation initiatives and supporting aviation partners saf worldwide.
