Map Shows Where To Locate Sustainable Aviation Fuel
4AIR has launched an interactive map to show private jet owners and operators where to find Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
The map seeks to address the difficulties in locating SAF, due to limited distribution and fragmented marketing.
“Sustainable Aviation Fuel is an efficient and effective way to reduce the impact private jets have on climate change,” said Kennedy Ricci, 4AIR’s president. “This is the single best way for aviators to find this climate-beneficial fuel. And, by making it easier to find SAF, we hope to promote its use and expand its availability.”
The map has almost 20 verified SAF locations, and excludes locations if they do not have fuel available for purchase to the business aviation community. Each listing shares an address, website link and telephone number. Plans to update the map continuously are ongoing.
“The future of sustainability within private aviation depends on the increasing demand and availability of SAF,” said Scott Cutshall, SVP of Development and Sustainability at Clay Lacy. “We’re excited for 4AIR’s interactive map to make it easier for operators to locate SAF as it rolls out at more and more of their destination FBOs, including Clay Lacy locations.”
SAF has a similar chemical composition to fossil fuels, and therefore the same tailpipe emissions, but it can be pumped, stored and used within the existing fuel infrastructure.
4AIR says the interactive SAF map is a demonstration of how the company is simplifying the ability for private aviation operators to make flying more environmentally friendly.
