Jet Aviation recently announced that it has signed an agreement with World Fuel Services to offer sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on-site in Dallas and Houston in Texas; Palm Beach, Florida; Bedford, Massachusetts; and Teterboro, New Jersey.

This brings the total number of Jet Aviation fixed-base operators (FBOs) in the U.S. currently offering on-site SAF to eight.

SAF will be available from Jan. 1, 2025, in these five new locations and is in addition to existing supply at Van Nuys, California; Bozeman, Montana; and Scottsdale, Arizona.

The company also intends to provide on-site SAF at its new FBO in Miami-Opa Locka, Florida, once the site is operational.

“We are incredibly proud of this latest expansion of our SAF network in the U.S.,” said Richard Layson, Jet Aviation’s vice president of FBO operations in the Americas. “The U.S. is one of the most dynamic business-aviation markets in the world, and we are committed to continuing to grow our offering in line with the requirements of our customers. Whether at one of our FBOs, on a charter flight or as a managed aircraft, we are able to offer solutions for SAF on-site, or via book and claim anywhere in the region.”

SAF is a fully compliant, drop-in Jet A/A-1 fuel with the same characteristics and specifications as conventional jet fuel.

In 2019, Jet Aviation was the first supplier to offer SAF via a blended-fuel option at Van Nuys Airport.

It was also the first company to bring SAF to Switzerland for the World Economic Forum 2020.

In 2021 on-site SAF was introduced in Jet Aviation Amsterdam, followed by Singapore in 2022 and Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Bozeman, Montana; and Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2023.

“Sustainable aviation fuel is an important part of our efforts towards supporting the business aviation industry’s commitment to a more sustainable future,” said Jeremie Caillet, the president of Jet Aviation. “We are delighted to be able to expand our network of SAF availability thanks to ongoing partnerships across our global network, and as part of our commitment to providing our customers with more sustainable choices. Sustainable aviation requires a global effort, and we all have a role to play as we continue to work together.”

Jet Aviation is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics with some 4,000 employees and 50 locations worldwide.

Jet Aviation’s offerings include aircraft management, aircraft sales, charter, completions, defense, FBO, maintenance and staffing.
