Marking a milestone achievement, Jetex says it is the first to offer sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to customers using its flagship private aviation terminal in Dubai. The executive aviation services provider has partnered with Shell Aviation for the supply and already provides SAF at selected locations in Europe.
“Bringing SAF to the United Arab Emirates is a milestone achievement, and today I am pleased that we finally can offer this type of aircraft fuel to our customers in Dubai in partnership with Shell Aviation. It is even more important in light of 2023 being announced as the Year of Sustainability in the UAE as it cements our ambition to reduce carbon emissions,” said Adel Mardini, Founder and CEO of Jetex.
The SAF provided by Jetex is a fully certified drop-in fuel compatible with existing aircraft fleet and airport infrastructure and in its neat from can reduce lifecycle emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel.
Doris Tan, General Manager Asia and Middle East, Shell Aviation, added: “To reduce emissions from flying, all parts of the aviation value chain need to play their part. This is particularly crucial for private business customers as they can create a concentrated, high-impact demand for SAF. Additionally, expanding the availability of SAF to new locations is equally important, which is why it’s been highly rewarding to work with Jetex to enhance our SAF capabilities in the Middle East by delivering SAF at DWC for the first time.”
