Luxaviation Group, the parent company of the ExecuJet FBO chain, has announced the introduction of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its Paris Le Bourget Airport location. This move aligns with the facility’s recent transition to all-electric ground service equipment, marking a significant step in its sustainability efforts.
The SAF offered by ExecuJet at Le Bourget is a blend of up to 35% SAF, produced from used cooking oil refined through the HEFA process. This blend is expected to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of flights. For instance, a Bombardier Global 7500 flying between ExecuJet’s FBOs at Le Bourget and Johannesburg on a 35% SAF blend would see a reduction in CO2 emissions by 20 tons.
Luxaviation Group’s CEO, Patrick Hansen, emphasized the importance of this initiative in the context of the industry’s environmental goals. “As the industry aligns with global environmental goals and the Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change, sustainability stands at the cornerstone of Luxaviation Group, paving the way for a more sustainable future in aviation,” said Hansen. “We strive to set new standards and inspire others to join us in embracing innovation to enhance corporate social responsibility.”
The introduction of SAF at Le Bourget is part of Luxaviation’s broader strategy to lead the aviation industry towards more sustainable practices, reinforcing its commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting responsible corporate behavior.
