Ahead of this year’s EBACE in Geneva, Overland Aviation took delivery of a demonstrative 8,000 gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its North Dakota FBO.
“We’re proud to help lead the charge in introducing SAF to the Midwest,” said Tanner Overland, President and Founder of Overland Aviation. Part of the Avfuel network, the supply marks the fuel provider’s first Midwest location to receive SAF. “Our goal is to provide world-class services that support a more sustainable future for aviation – this special fuel load is an important milestone in that commitment.”
A private jet typically uses between 50 and 500 gallons of fuel per hour, depending on the size and model.
Facilitated by a SAF supply agreement between Avfuel and Valero Marketing and Supply Company, the delivery “marked an exciting step forward in expanding SAF availability and accessibility across the US,” according to Joel Hirst, Avfuel’s SVP of sales. He added that it showcases “the viability of SAF’s expansion into the Midwest while offering the FBO’s global customer base a more environmentally responsible fuelling option.”
A full service FBO, Overland Aviation is a fee-free tech stop: free of landing fees, handling fees, security fees and infrastructure fees. Ramp and international garbage fees are also waived with a fuel purchase.
