Avfuel Boosts SAF Supplies at Austin Airport

Million Air at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (KAUS) has taken its first load of what will be continuous supplies of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). For the company, KAUS is its second FBO location to carry SAF.

“Austin is a thriving, business-centric city that also deeply values environmental responsibility,” explained Million Air CEO Roger Woolsey. “Bringing SAF to…Austin is about giving our customers meaningful options that align with both their travel needs and their sustainability goals.”

Originating in Texas and delivered by Avfuel, the 30% SAF blend offers a19-tonne reduction in life-cycle carbon emissions with every 8,000-gallon truckload delivered. While not yet approved for aircraft use, neat SAF can provide up to 80% emissions reduction versus fossil-based jet-A.

Million Air Austin FBO represents Avfuel’s first distribution location in Texas. “The Million Air team has been an exceptional partner to work with in expanding sustainable fuel solutions,” said Mark Haynes, the fuel provider’s v-p of sales. “We’re proud to collaborate with them to establish our first consistent SAF-supplied location in Texas and help further their corporate initiatives on sustainability.”
