With the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) taking place once again this week in Davos, Switzerland, Jet Aviation’s FBO at Zurich Airport (LSZH) will once again be providing sustainable aviation fuel for departing aircraft.
The company was the first to make sustainable aviation fuel available in Switzerland for the 2020 WEF. Since then, it has had physical SAF on hand during these conferences since 2023, with a book-and-claim option in 2022.
WEF, which runs through Friday, typically attracts scores of private flights to the area’s airports, and the Business Aviation Coalition for Sustainable Aviation Fuel is encouraging aircraft operators and delegations traveling to Davos-Klosters to contact their fuel providers and FBOs to secure SAF or use book-and-claim where it is not physically available.
“We are delighted to be able to offer SAF on-site again during the [WEF] in Davos,” said Joao Martins, Jet Aviation’s v-p of FBO operations for Europe and general manager of its Zurich location. “SAF is an important part of supporting our industry’s efforts towards a more sustainable future.”
The global aviation services provider offers SAF at 13 locations worldwide and across its FBO network via a book-and-claim program, which enables operators to purchase SAF benefits in areas where the actual fuel is not yet available.
