From the press release from Airbus Corporate jets today–via Aviation Week:
“Fifty-eight of 100 senior U.S. executives surveyed say they expect the use of SAF in the private aviation sector will increase “significantly” over the next five years, with a further 32% forecasting at least a “slight increase.” All of the companies surveyed had annual revenues in excess of $500 million.”
So–going from ZERO SAF to using JUST A LITTLE counts as a “significant increase.” Talk about “SPIN!”
This coming on top of the NBAA announcement that 16,000 gallons (TWO truckloads) would be specially trucked in for the event (at what cost for diesel fuel for the special trucks–vs. the pipeline Jet-A?) Given that these operators us AirBus Corporate Jets–that means perhaps 10 airplanes got the stuff (assuming it wasn’t rationed).
