Sustainable Aviation Fuel will be available during the World Economic Forum from Jet Aviation as it expands global SAF availability.
Jet Aviation will supply sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, at its Zurich FBO during the World Economic Forum 2025.
For the fourth year, General Dynamics’ private aviation subsidiary has worked with Zurich Airport to make SAF available on-site for visitors during the World Economic Forum.
Jet Aviation first made SAF available in Switzerland during the big event in 2020.
Since then, the company has offered on-site SAF for WEF 2023 and 2024 and via Book & Claim in 2022.
“We are delighted to be able to offer SAF on-site again during the World Economic Forum in Davos,” says Joao Martins, vice president of regional FBO operations in Europe and General Manager in Zurich.
In a press release, he adds, “We promise our customers a seamless experience, and this includes offering more sustainable choices, such as access to SAF. We are incredibly proud to be able to provide this choice at all of our sites in Switzerland, either via temporary on-site supplies for key events in Zurich and Geneva or with a permanent supply at our headquarters in Basel.”
Per Jet Aviation, “SAF has the potential to reduce aviation’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over its lifecycle. It is a fully compliant, drop-in Jet A/A-1 fuel with the same characteristics and specifications as conventional jet fuel.”
“We are committed to working with our partners to continue to broaden access to SAF as part of our efforts towards reducing our industry’s carbon footprint,” says Jet Aviation President Jeremie Caillet.
He continues, “Our work to bring SAF to our sites in Switzerland, including Zurich and Basel, is part of an ongoing collaboration with our partners to offer physical SAF to customers across our global network. Today, we have 12 sites offering on-site SAF, in addition to Book & Claim available anywhere in the world, and we continue to look for opportunities to grow this offering where it makes most environmental sense.”
Jet Aviation first offered sustainable fuel via a blended fuel option at Van Nuys Airport, California.
In 2021, a permanent supply of SAF was introduced in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, followed by Singapore in 2022; Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Scottsdale, Arizona, and Bozeman, Montana, in 2023; and Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas, Palm Beach, Florida, Bedford, Massachusetts, and Teterboro, New Jersey, and Basel, Switzerland in January 2025.
SAF will also be available at the company’s new FBO at Miami-Opa Locka upon operation.
Jet Aviation offers jet card programs in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.
Last year, it expanded its charter jet fleet in the U.S.
