Bombardier Business Aircraft, which last month accepted the first load of sustainable aviation fuel at its Montreal headquarters, has delivered its first new aircraft, factory-fueled with the renewable fuel, as part of the OEM's continuing efforts to encourage operators on its adoption. The super-midsize Challenger 350 was handed over to San Diego, California-based aircraft management, charter, and sales provider Latitude 33 and it will become the sixth Challenger-series twinjet in the company’s fleet.
“We are very pleased that the customer and Latitude 33 Aviation joined us in demonstrating that SAF can become a mainstream, drop-in alternative to traditional jet fuel for general aviation aircraft,” said Peter Likoray, the airframer’s senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. “We are actively promoting the use of SAF as a regular part of flying business aircraft, and Latitude 33 Aviation’s trust as the first customer to fly away from our delivery center on these fuels represents a turning point in the longstanding and industry-wide pledge to reduce CO2 emissions.”
