Avfuel and Sheltair Cover SAF bases for NBAA-BACE

Avfuel Corporation partnered with Sheltair Aviation and Neste to ensure NBAA-BACE attendees had the option to fuel sustainably for the event.
Avfuel had two truckload deliveries of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation FuelTM at Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) in the week of October 10.
The deliveries provided a total of 16,000 gallons of SAF to the FBO for its customers to use for greener operations surrounding business aviation’s largest convention of the year.
“It’s always exciting to welcome traffic back to BACE in Orlando, but we’re especially excited to be able to provide our customers with a sustainable option in SAF for the 2022 show,” said Eddie Dussault, Sheltair Orlando’s general manager.
“SAF is the best way to reduce carbon emissions; by partnering with Avfuel to provide this product to our customer base, we’re fueling the spirit of BACE with a concentration on and commitment to sustainable operations.”
While the SAF deliveries to Sheltair ORL help any operator flying in and fueling up at the FBO to select a sustainable alternative, Avfuel also coordinated with Sheltair and Embraer to provide one extra load of Neste MY SAF to the OEM via Sheltair’s Melbourne (KMLB) FBO.
“The Avfuel team is proud to have the capability to provide four extra full loads of SAF surrounding NBAA-BACE,” said Keith Sawyer, Avfuel’s manager of alternative fuels.
“Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without Sheltair’s coordination to help customers fly sustainably, Neste’s dedication to SAF production, and the OEMs’ commitment to reduce emissions.
“Together, we are able to avoid adding 76 metric tons of carbon emissions into the atmosphere over the fuel’s lifecycle with the four loads—that’s the amount of carbon created by charging nearly 9.25 million smartphones, which is really astounding when you put SAF’s benefit into perspective.”
