Starting tomorrow, ACI Jet—the sole aviation services provider at California’s San Luis Obispo County Airport (KSBP)—will have continuous supplies of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) available for customers. The company is no stranger to the renewable fuel, having stocked it at its John Wayne-Orange County Airport (KSNA) location since 2020.
Produced by Neste and distributed by Avfuel, the SAF will be a 30% blend, with each 8,000-gallon tanker load providing a 19-tonne life cycle carbon emissions reduction, the equivalent annual emissions of 4.5 cars.
“As the aviation industry moves toward its sustainability goals, the availability and adoption of SAF will be critical,” said Andrew Robillard, ACI’s v-p of FBOs and facilities. “ACI Jet is thrilled to bring [SAF] to our San Luis Obispo FBO, offering our customers a meaningful way to reduce their environmental impact while continuing to enjoy the exceptional service we provide.”
The introduction of SAF at KSBP is a component of ACI’s “Fly Like New” campaign, which helps operators extend the lifespan of aging aircraft through passenger experience enhancements and modernized flight technology. According to the company, aircraft operators can further reduce emissions while maximizing the service life of their fleet through the use of SAF.
