Atlantic Takes First Delivery of Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Atlantic Aviation’s fixed base operation in New Castle, DE (KILG) has accepted a first load of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). SAF is produced from sustainable feedstocks including waste oils such as used cooking oil, agricultural residues, or non-fossil-based carbon dioxide.

Utilizing SAF to fuel business jets reduces emissions and the impact of the aviation industry on the environment. The single load of SAF, delivered by Avfuel Corporation for a flight department through Atlantic Aviation, totaled 7,300-gallons, making for a two metric ton reduction in CO2 emissions compared with fossil-based jet fuel.

Atlantic Aviation’s current initiatives include energy conservation by converting to LED lighting, reducing carbon emission by replacing fossil-fuel powered equipment and vehicles with electrics, and implementing environmental programs aimed at water conservation and waste reduction.
