Banyan Air Service, one of a quartet of FBOs at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE), is now one of the first service providers in South Florida to stock continuous supplies of blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Avfuel will deliver the fuel to the branded facility from the newly established Port Everglades supply terminal. The drop-in 30% SAF blend—which meets all ASTM D-1655 specifications for jet fuel—reduces life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 24% compared to conventional fossil-based jet-A. In its neat, unblended (and yet to be approved for aircraft) form, those GHG reductions can rise to 80%.
Banyan’s customers can purchase SAF through Avfuel’s contract fuel program, which will provide the documentation for emissions reporting purposes.
“Offering SAF is a monumental step for Banyan and the aviation community at FXE,” explained COO Jon Tonko. “As the most effective way to reduce the environmental footprint of aviation today, SAF aligns with Banyan’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and supporting our customers in their efforts to fly greener.”
