ACI Jet has announced that sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will now be available at its Fixed Base Operator (FBO) location at San Luis Obispo County Airport (KSBP).
This launch underscores ACI Jet’s commitment to advancing aviation sustainability and supporting the aviation industry’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“ACI Jet is thrilled to bring sustainable aviation fuel 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,” said Andrew Robillard, vice president of FBOs and facilities for ACI Jet.
The SAF offered at ACI Jet’s San Luis Obispo FBO will be supplied by Avfuel Corporation, a leading provider of sustainable fuel solutions.
Produced by Neste in Long Beach, California, this SAF offering aligns with regional efforts to foster environmental responsibility in aviation.
The fuel—branded as Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel—averages one of the highest blend ratios available in business aviation to date (30/70 SAF to petroleum-based jet fuel).
Each 8,000-gallon truckload delivery provides a 19-metric-ton reduction in carbon emissions over the fuel’s lifecycle. That’s the equivalent of taking 4.5 passenger vehicles off the road for a year.
ACI Jet has already pioneered SAF availability at its John Wayne Airport (KSNA) location, where it began offering the fuel in 2020.
“As the aviation industry moves toward its sustainability goals, the availability and adoption of SAF will be critical,” Robillard said. “Our SAF initiative is another way ACI Jet is contributing to a cleaner, greener future for aviation.”
