SAF: The Future of Sustainable Business Aviation

Business aviation is undergoing a major transformation. As environmental responsibility becomes a global priority, the industry is accelerating its transition toward a greener future. At the heart of this revolution lies a concrete and immediate solution: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

At IBC Aviation, we are committed to helping our clients reduce their carbon footprint without compromising the flexibility and efficiency that define private travel.

What is SAF?

SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) is a cleaner alternative to conventional fossil jet fuel (Jet A-1). Unlike traditional kerosene refined from petroleum, SAF is produced from renewable resources.

These sources include:

• Used cooking oils and animal fats.
• Agricultural and forestry waste.
• Municipal solid waste.
• Synthetic fuels captured from carbon.

An Immediate Reduction in Carbon Footprint

The primary benefit of SAF is its environmental impact. Over its entire lifecycle—from production to combustion—SAF can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional fuel.

Furthermore, SAF contains fewer impurities (such as sulfur and aromatics), which also helps reduce particulate matter emissions and contrails, further mitigating the climate impact of flying.

A "Drop-in" Solution

One of the greatest advantages of SAF is that it requires no technical modifications to aircraft. It is a "drop-in" fuel, meaning it can be blended with standard kerosene and used safely in existing engines.

• Safety: It meets the same strict safety and performance standards as Jet A-1.
• Logistics: It uses the existing fueling infrastructure at airports.

SAF is not just a concept for the future; it is a reality available today. By choosing sustainable aviation fuel, you contribute to the decarbonization of the sector while continuing to enjoy the time-saving benefits of private aviation.
