Business aviation leaders are celebrating the record number of airplanes arriving at the industry\u2019s largest European industry event fueled by sustainable alternative jet fuels (SAJF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all, 23 aircraft arrived at Geneva Airport (GVA) for the\nannual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) using\nalternative fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aircraft that participated in this first-ever EBACE SAJF\nFly-In are showcased at the event\u2019s static display. The significance of the\nfly-in was recognized by EBACE organizers, the National Business Aviation\nAssociation (NBAA) and the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, it is more evident than ever how unified our\nindustry is in working toward the goal of continually reducing emissions\nthrough innovation,\u201d said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. \u201cBusiness aviation\nhas always led the way in promoting technologies that advance the\nsustainability of flight, and it is appropriate that we highlight our focus in\nthis area through this record-setting fly-in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis week\u2019s record-setting EBACE SAJF Fly-In is a milestone\nin business aviation\u2019s commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon\nemissions,\u201d said EBAA Chairman of the Board of Governors Juergen Wiese. \u201cWe are\nproud that Europe\u2019s leading business aviation event, which has always showcased\ninnovation, is proving the viability and value of alternative fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Production and use of the alternate fuels are key to the\nindustry\u2019s Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change, which, among other\naims, seeks to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020 forward. Last year at\nEBACE, industry leaders reaffirmed that commitment by releasing a guide to\nusing SAJF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the airplanes that flew to EBACE using SAJF arrived\nfrom London\u2019s Tag Farnborough Airport, where industry leaders hosted a\ndemonstration day, entitled \u201cFueling the Future,\u201d on May 18, 2019. The\nFarnborough day followed a similar SAJF demonstration day at Van Nuys Airport\nin California on Jan. 17, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Farnborough, flights arrived in Geneva from\nseveral airports in Europe and North America, where alternative fuels were\navailable for business aircraft. These include Caen Carpiquet Airport in\nFrance, Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden and Republic Airport in the United\nStates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Farnborough Demonstration Day and again today at\nEBACE, industry leaders underscored that SAJF are safe and do not impact\naircraft performance. The fuels also benefit airport communities, reducing\nparticulate matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to EBAA and NBAA, the development of SAJF has\nbeen promoted by a coalition of industry organizations, including the General\nAviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the International Business Aviation\nCouncil (IBAC) and the National Air Transportation Association (NATA).

Leaders from that coalition thanked all the fuel providers,\naircraft manufacturers, service providers, airport authorities and others who\nsupported this week\u2019s EBACE SAJF Fly-In, including: Air BP, Avfuel, Aviator,\nBombardier, Cirrus Aircraft, Daher, Dassault Aviation, Diamond Aircraft,\nEmbraer, Gulfstream, JSSI, NESTE, Textron Aviation and World Fuel Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese flights are intended to demonstrate to everyone in\nour industry that SAJF is, quite simply, Jet-A in every way: a drop-in fuel\nthat has undergone exhaustive testing and meets all specifications and\nrequirements,\u201d said GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce. \u201cAs an industry, we are\nextremely proud to have delivered a 40 percent fuel efficiency improvement over\nthe last 40 years through improved aircraft and component designed materials\nand manufacturing processes. We look forward to building upon these efficiency\ngains, which directly translate to our industry\u2019s environmental sustainability\ngoals through the growing availability and use of SAJF.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis fleet of 23 aircraft flying into Geneva for EBACE on\nsustainable aviation fuel represents the global commitment by business aviation\nto mitigate its carbon emissions, and contribute to the goal of carbon-neutral\ngrowth from 2020,\u201d said IBAC Director General Kurt Edwards. \u201cThe fly-in also\ndemonstrates the viability of these drop-in fuels, and provides further proof\nto the industry that we can fly with SAJF now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach milestone of the SAJF initiative represents progress\nin education and awareness, and exemplifies the dedication and commitment of\nour industry and coalition members,\u201d stated NATA President Gary Dempsey. \u201cNATA\nthanks each one of the participants of the Farnborough and EBACE events for\ntheir support and engagement \u2013 without them, none of this would be possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
