The City of Mesa joins with its Falcon Field Airport partners in celebrating the arrival of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as a new, emissions-reducing fuel option.
Avflight Mesa, one of the airport's fixed based operators (FBO) that provides aviation fuel and ground handling support, partnered with its sister company, Avfuel Corporation, a leading independent supplier of aviation fuel and services, to establish consistent supply of SAF on the airfield.
The FBO received its first truckload delivery of SAF, specifically, Neste MY Sustainable Aviation FuelTM, on Aug. 28. Every truckload carries approximately 8,000 gallons of the sustainable fuel. This volume reduces carbon emissions by 19 tons compared to petroleum-based jet fuel from the time the SAF is created to the time its burned. That provides the same environmental benefit as taking 4.5 passenger vehicles (personal cars, vans, SUVs, trucks) off U.S. roads for a year.
The introduction of a consistent SAF supply elevates Avflight Mesa, and by extension, the airport, as a leader in eco-conscious aviation operations, enabling its customers to immediately and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Avflights Mesa location is the first of its 26 FBOs situated around North America and Europe to adopt SAF. (https://mesanow.org/news/public/article/3377?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery)
