Jetex-Azzera Tie-up Boosts SAF Traceability in Mideast

Dubai-based global FBO chain Jetex has become the latest strategic investor in digital carbon-management platform Azzera. The partnership also allows Jetex to source sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by digitally tracking consignments to clients for the first time. Azzera said Jetex’s investment enabled it to conclude an $800,000 capital raise.

According to Jetex, the first SAF uplift under the deal was completed last month at the Dubai Airshow, enabling it to issue a verified SAF retirement certificate through the SAF pod on the Celeste platform, Azzera’s proprietary SAF application. Jetex was the show’s exclusive SAF provider.

But Jetex has been supplying SAF to private aviation customers in Dubai since 2023 via an agreement with Shell Aviation at its Dubai World Central (OMDW) terminal—the first time SAF was offered to private aviation customers in the UAE.

The new collaboration is focused on integrating Azzera’s digital SAF and carbon management solutions into Jetex’s operations. Jetex will use Azzera’s technology to digitally track, verify, and certify SAF use and emissions reductions.

“We take our responsibility to support the industry’s ambitious climate reduction goals seriously,” said Jetex founder and CEO Adel Mardini. “This is why we have chosen to partner with Azzera in advancing responsible aviation practices.”
