In New Jersey, AIN reported that many of the helicopters that flew to the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas last weekend for display at Verticon did so on sustainable aviation fuel. The 30% SAF blend was provided by Avfuel and paid for by Airbus Helicopters, according to the report. “The future of vertical aviation depends on our ability to innovate and adopt sustainable solution,” said VAI president and CEO James Viola. “By using SAF at Verticon, we are taking a meaningful step toward reducing aviation’s carbon footprint and fostering a cleaner, more sustainable future for helicopter operations.” Through the use of SAF at its annual rotorcraft showcase, the organization aims to support operators’ adoption of cleaner, renewable energy solutions, promote industry-wide sustainability efforts, and demonstrate SAF’s viability in rotorcraft operations, according to the report. Neste reports increase in SAF sales despite challenging market for renewables.
