Record Numbers of Aircraft Fly to EBACE on Alternative Fuels

A record 21 aircraft arrived at Geneva Airport (LSGG) for the annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) using sustainable alternative jet fuels (SAJF). Aircraft that participated in this first-ever EBACE SAJF Fly-In are showcased at the event’s static display. The significance of the fly-in was recognized by EBACE organizers, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA).

Production and use of alternate fuels are key to the industry’s Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change, which seeks to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020 forward. Last year at EBACE, industry leaders reaffirmed that commitment by releasing a guide to using SAJF.

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

Leaders from that coalition thank all the fuel providers, aircraft manufacturers, service providers, airport authorities and others who supported this week’s EBACE SAJF Fly-In, including: Air BP, Avfuel, Aviator, Bombardier, Cirrus Aircraft, Daher, Dassault Aviation, Diamond Aircraft, Embraer, Gulfstream, JSSI, NESTE, Textron Aviation and World Fuel Services.
