Fellow keynoter, the Rt. Hon. Grant Shapps, said that around the world, political perceptions of business aviation will continue to be shaped by emissions, and applauded the industry’s work on the development and adoption of sustainable fuels.

Video: Business Aviation is Flying Into the Future on SAJFAn industry-wide commitment to sustainable alternative jet fuel (SAJF) is on display at EBACE2019, with 23 aircraft on static display having flown to the show using the fuel. “This fuel is safe. It does not impact your maintenance. It does not impact your operation efficiency. It does not impact your performance of the aircraft,” said EBAA Chairman of the Board of Governors Juergen Wiese. “It’s not like Jet A, it is Jet A,” said Charles Etter, of Gulfstream. “We’re here to educate and let everybody know the fuel is safe, it meets the same fuel specifications. There’s no performance loss.” View the video and learn more about SAJF during EBACE2019. |
