SAF stands for Sustainable Aviation Fuel. It is an alternative aviation fuel made from sustainable and renewable sources, such as plant-based materials, waste products, and non-petroleum resources. SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel, making it an important part of efforts to reduce the environmental impact of air travel. SAF can be used as a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel, without any modifications to the aircraft or the existing infrastructure. It has been certified for use in commercial aviation by several aviation authorities, including ASTM International (https://www.astm.org ), the European Aviation Safety Agency (https://www.easa.europa.eu/en), IATA (https://www.iata.org/) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) https://www.faa.gov/.

Many private aviation companies are increasingly adopting SAF as part of their sustainability and environmental initiatives, and some operators offer customers the option to offset their carbon emissions or to choose flights that use SAF. The increased use of SAF in aviation is expected to contribute to the aviation industry's efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and reduce its environmental impact in the coming years.

JetFlo strongly encourages the use of SAF fuel when available as it is today the best option for private jet users to significantly reduce the impact of their flights.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is currently available at an increasing number of airports around the world, with more locations expected to offer SAF in the coming years. Some of the airports where SAF is currently available or in development include:
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS)
Frankfurt Airport (FRA)
Oslo Airport (OSL)
Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN)
London Heathrow Airport (LHR)
London Farnborough Airport (FAB)
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
Munich Airport (MUC)

It's recommended to check with your JetFlo sales representative to inquire about the availability of SAF for your specific flight and to confirm any additional requirements or costs associated with using SAF.

The aviation industry is taking a number of measures and initiatives to reduce their environmental impact and become more sustainable. Here are some examples:

Investment in sustainable aviation fuel: The aviation industry is increasingly investing in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to reduce carbon emissions. Several airlines and private aviation companies have committed to using SAF on some or all of their flights, while others have invested in the development of SAF production facilities.
Fleet renewal and modernization: Many airlines and private aviation companies are retiring older, less fuel-efficient aircraft and replacing them with newer, more efficient models that have lower emissions and are equipped with advanced technology to reduce fuel consumption. That is why JetFlo will always recommend aircraft that are less than 15 years old.

Improved operational practices: The aviation industry is continuously seeking to optimize their operations to reduce their carbon footprint. This includes initiatives such as implementing more efficient air traffic management systems, reducing aircraft weight and drag, and improving ground handling and airport operations.
Carbon offset programs: JetFlo is offering a carbon offset programs that allow customers to offset the carbon emissions from their flights by investing in renewable energy projects or other sustainability initiatives through My Climate Care.

Collaboration and industry partnerships: The aviation industry is working together to share best practices, research and development, and coordinate efforts to reduce environmental impact. For example, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Airports Council International (ACI) have set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions and are working together to achieve these goals.
Alternative aircraft technologies: The aviation industry is also exploring alternative aircraft technologies such as electric or hybrid-electric aircraft, hydrogen fuel cells, and other sustainable options that could help reduce emissions in the future.

These are just a few examples of the many initiatives and efforts being undertaken by the aviation industry to reduce their environmental impact and become more sustainable
