Signature Aviation has announced a new milestone in sustainability by bringing a 100% supply of blended Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to its Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) location.
This achievement aligns with the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility and mission to accelerate the aviation industry’s adoption of sustainable practices.
With the transition completed on April 1, Signature LAX becomes the second private aviation terminal worldwide to ensure a 100% supply of blended SAF, joining Signature’s location at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
“This is a transformative time for Signature, and our partnership with Neste is helping us take another significant step towards net zero by providing a 100% supply of blended SAF at our Los Angeles location,” said Derek DeCross, chief commercial officer at Signature Aviation. “This collaboration exemplifies how we’re working together with both our guests and our partners to accelerate the adoption of environmentally friendly practices and paving the way for a more sustainable future in aviation.”
Signature recently passed the 30 million gallon mark in terms of total SAF delivered throughout its network, taking a substantial leap toward reducing carbon emissions.
Signature, in collaboration with Neste, the leading producer of SAF, is significantly contributing to the aviation sector’s efforts to reduce emissions. Using Neste MY SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over the fuel’s life cycle, compared to using conventional jet fuel.
Neste’s SAF is made from sustainably sourced, 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials, such as used cooking oil and animal fat waste.
The blended SAF offering provided by Signature at its LAX location includes 30% of Neste MY SAF and 70% conventional jet fuel, enabling partners to achieve a 24% decrease in GHG emissions from air travel.
SAF is currently approved for use blended up to 50% with conventional jet fuel.
“We are proud to continue expanding our collaboration with committed partners like Signature Aviation, who recognize the key role sustainable aviation fuel can play in reducing GHG emissions from air travel. Offering blended Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel to all of its customers at LAX is a shining example of how the business aviation community can work together with fuel producers to accelerate SAF adoption and emission reductions,” says Carrie Song, senior vice president commercial, renewable products at Neste.
