Million Air Austin has added sustainable aviation fuel at Austin Bergstrom International Airport in partnership with Avfuel Corporation.
The fuel went into service on November 20, 2025, providing a solution for operators seeking to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from flight operations. This marks the first SAF location in Texas for both companies, offering supply of sustainable aviation fuel for the airport’s business and general aviation traffic.
“Austin is a business-centric city that also values environmental responsibility,” said Roger Woolsey, chief executive at Million Air Interlink. “Bringing SAF to Million Air Austin is about giving our customers options that align with both their travel needs and their sustainability goals.”
The fuel has a targeted blend percentage of 30% neat SAF to 70% traditional jet fuel. For every 8,000-gallon (30,283-liter) truckload of fuel, the SAF provides a 19 metric ton reduction in carbon emissions over the fuel’s lifecycle compared to petroleum-based jet fuel.
“The Million Air team has been a partner to work with in expanding sustainable fuel solutions,” said Mark Haynes, vice president of sales at Avfuel. “We’re proud to collaborate with them to establish our first SAF-supplied location in Texas and help further their corporate initiatives on sustainability.”
The reduction is equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered by 19.1 acres (7.7 hectares) of US forests per year. In its neat form, SAF has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel.
The initiative is part of Million Air’s Beyond Green sustainability program. Million Air Austin joins Million Air Albany, which partnered with Avfuel to add SAF this summer.
SAF is made from renewable and sustainably sourced waste materials including used cooking oil. Once blended with conventional jet fuel, SAF meets ASTM D1655 specifications and performs to the same standards as traditional jet fuel, requiring no changes to aircraft, fuel infrastructure or handling procedures.
