Hill Aircraft—an FBO at Fulton County Executive Airport (KFTY) near Atlanta—announced it will receive a load of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), marking it as the first retail location in Georgia to offer the renewable fuel. (Gulfstream Aerospace has stocked SAF for its test and demonstration flights for the past decade at its Savannah headquarters.) The shipment to Hill will come ahead of the Peach Bowl, which will be played on New Year’s Eve at Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium.
World Fuel Services is supplying 3,700 gallons of blended SAF to the Phillips 66-branded location for its customers flying in for the game. Due to its limited availability, Hill advises customers to call ahead to reserve SAF. As the closest airport to the game venue, the FBO will also hold a viewing party for pilots and crew during the event.
“We’re committed to making every Hill experience exceptional, and providing SAF to customers is a part of that for this event,” explained Andrew Ash, the FBO’s v-p and general manager, adding the company wants to set an industry example by introducing SAF to its clientele. “As a leading independent FBO with a rich history in Georgia, we are always future focused on what and how we deliver our services.”
