World Fuel Services will provide 40,000 gallons of fuel at HND, which is more than double the total SAF that was available at the airport for the 2021 convention. SAF will be offered at VGT for the first time in concurrence with the convention. Atlantic Aviation also announced Thursday that it is offering both locally delivered SAF and book and claim gallons. World Fuel Services will supply Atlantic's LAS location with 16,000 gallons before the show and local SAF will be delivered throughout the event. Gallons will also be delivered to Atlantic from some of its California locations in Los Angeles (LAX), Long Beach (LGB) and Stockton (SCK) by book and claim through the FBOs SAF Marketplace.
"We are extremely mindful of business aviation's responsibility to combat climate change and work towards a cleaner environment," said Brian Corbett, Chief Commercial andamp; Sustainability Officer at Atlantic Aviation. "SAF is jet fuel, and currently it is the most meaningful way to make an impact on aviation emissions. Atlantic is committed to doing our part to drive change with simple and reliable advancements across our network."
