Skyservice Business Aviation is offering sustainable fuel for private aircraft clients in Canada, a news release said.
"We are aggressively seeking to lessen the impact of our operations on the environment and offering low-carbon fuels is one of many ways we are doing that," Benjamin Murray, president and CEO of Skyservice said in a statement. "Our objective is to achieve carbon neutrality at Skyservice by 2050. By offering SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), we can effectively contribute to fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions reduction goals as set by the International Civil Aviation Organization and advance our own corporate environmental protection mission."
The fuel will allow customers to reduce their life cycle emissions by 20% compared to traditional jet fuel, the news release said.
The company's Toronto South Terminal at Toronto Pearson International Airport received the first shipment of sustainable fuel, which was produced by World Energy, the company said. World Energy is "the world's first and America's only commercial-scale SAF production company," according to the news release.
As the world supply of sustainable fuel increases, Skyservice plans to transition to sustainable fuel exclusively, "reinforcing the company's focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility," the news release said.
The first customer to use the sustainable fuel will be AirSprint, which pioneered fractional jet ownership in Canada, Skyservice said.
"We have always worked to align our values with those of our fractional owners and suppliers, and a commitment to sustainability has never been more important to us, and to them," said Jared Williams, chief operating officer and vice president of operations at AirSprint. "Having the opportunity to purchase SAF in Canada not only helps mitigate the impacts of traditional jet fuel on the environment, but it also helps move the aviation industry forward in a more efficient and positive way."
