VistaJet enters new partnership with SkyNRG for sustainable aviation fuel

VistaJet, the business aviation company with a fleet of over 70 silver and red business jets, has released details of its Sustainability in Aviation pledge this week, including announcing the new partnership with  SkyNRG, pioneer and global leader for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The SAF industry has made advancements since its inception, yet the availability of sustainable fuels for jet aeroplanes is still limited due to financial, technical, and regulatory reasons. With air travel centred around hubs and the 20 busiest airports in the world handling nearly one-fifth of all air passenger traffic, this should make it easier for the new energy source to be fully adopted by operators*. However, a decade after their introduction, there are only a few hubs globally where sustainable biojet fuel is available and it still only accounts for less than 0.1% of total aviation fuel consumption.
