Agreements

Jet Aviation joins World Fuel Services for SAF supply

Jet Aviation and World Fuel Services have struck an agreement for Jet Aviation to procure and provide Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on-site at its FBOs in Bozeman, Montana, and Scottsdale, Arizona.

World Fuel Services has sold Jet Aviation a long-term supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel for uplift at its FBOs in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Bozeman, Montana as per the agreement. Moreover, the business offers SAF at Jet Aviation’s FBO in Van Nuys, California. SAF is a Jet A/A-1 fuel that is completely compatible and has all the same features and requirements as regular jet fuel.

Richard Layson, Vice President Regional FBO Operations said, “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.”

Since 2019, Jet Aviation has provided SAF at Van Nuys as a component of a blended fuel supply. Customers will now be able to buy from a dedicated SAF inventory at the California site, as well as in-person in Bozeman and Scottsdale, thanks to this collaboration.

David Best, vice president regional operations and general manager Americas said, “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.”

Additionally, Jet Aviation provides physical SAF on-site at FBO facilities in Singapore and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Through its global Book and Claim service, the firm has been providing clients with the option to receive the benefits of SAF in regions where there isn’t currently a physical supply since 2021.

Brad Hurwitz, senior vice president, fuel supply & trading at World Fuel Services said, “We are proud to partner with Jet Aviation in enabling increased access to SAF supply across their FBO network. Through actions such as these, we are collectively showing the power of collaboration in helping achieve the aviation industry’s 2050 net zero goals. 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.”
