Avfuel and Neste Create
Strategic Partnership for
Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Avfuel Corporation and Neste are
proud to announce a strategic partnership, effective Jan. 11, 2021, to create
an efficient, continuous supply of
sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the
United States.
Neste will provide Avfuel with SAF
in volumes able to meet the growing demands of Avfuel's customers,
including fixed base operators (FBOs),
airports, flight departments, original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and
commercial operators. Avfuel will be a
branded SAF distributor for Neste, and
will sell it under the brand name Neste
MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
The strategic partnership positions
Avfuel as one of the first United States
companies able to supply its customers
with SAF on a continuous basis. Mon-
terey Jet Center (KMRY) - an Avfuel-branded FBO in Monterey, Calif.
- will be the first customer to receive a
consistent supply of SAF.
" This strategic partnership is an
exciting development for the industry's
sustainability initiative and a natural
next step in response to aviation's
growing demand for SAF, " Craig Sincock, president and CEO of Avfuel,
said. " It combines Neste's leading SAF
production and marketing expertise
with Avfuel's leading distribution
logistics and branding proficiencies for
our global network of FBOs and fuel
consumers. Together, we are able to
support aviation's sustainability goals
and enhance supply availability at a
commercial scale, filling an immense
gap in the industry's supply chain.
Avfuel is proud to partner with the
Neste team, who demonstrate a deep
commitment to aviation and sustainability efforts for a brighter, cleaner
world. "
" This collaboration is about so much
more than just creating a supply chain.
We are really providing passengers a
meaningful way to reduce their carbon
footprint when traveling on a business
or private aircraft, " said Chris Cooper,
Neste's vice president for renewable
aviation in North America. " Thanks
to great partners like Avfuel, travelers
who care about the health of our planet
will be able to choose to board an aircraft flying on SAF. "
