Avfuel and Avflight Mesa bring SAF to Falcon Field

Avflight Mesa, in partnership with leading aviation fuel supplier, Avfuel Corporation, has announced it now offers an emission-reducing fuel option - sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The first truckload of SAF arrived on August 28.
Located at Arizona’s Falcon Field, Avflight Mesa is the first of Avflight’s 26 locations to offer SAF.
It also marks Avfuel’s 30^th location to provide consistent SAF supply and the second location in the Grand Canyon State Avfuel has brought online this summer.
“We are incredibly excited to offer SAF at our Mesa location,” said Aaron Mauer, senior regional manager for Avflight.
“The addition of SAF to Avflight Mesa’s overall sustainability initiatives furthers our commitment to reducing the production of greenhouse gasses and provides our customers the opportunity to work toward their sustainability goals.”
The fuel — produced by Neste in Long Beach, California, and branded as Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel^TM — averages one of the highest blend ratios available in business aviation to date (30/70 SAF to petroleum-based jet fuel).
Avfuel, headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has supplied Avflight Mesa since first acquiring the FBO in 2020.
Corinne Nystrom, Falcon Field’s airport director, said: “We’re thrilled Avflight chose Mesa as a launching point for a more sustainable future. This move compliments Mesa’s Climate Action Plan aimed at protecting Mesa’s environment and natural resources. With Falcon Field growing every day, SAF will play an important role in supporting the airfield’s increased operations while reducing overall emissions.”
