The Rise of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in Private Charter

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is no longer a distant promise - it is rapidly becoming a practical reality for private jet charter clients who want to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on service or convenience.

What is SAF?

SAF is a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel, produced from sustainable feedstocks such as waste cooking oils, agricultural residues, and municipal solid waste. It can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional kerosene.

Critically, SAF requires no modifications to existing aircraft or engines. It meets all existing fuel specifications and can be blended with conventional fuel at any ratio.

Availability in 2024

SAF is now available at an increasing number of private aviation airports across Europe, including:

• London Farnborough
• Paris Le Bourget
• Geneva
• Amsterdam Schiphol
• Zurich

Many operators now offer SAF as a standard option, with the additional cost typically ranging from 10-20% above standard fuel prices.
