Hawthorne Global Aviation Services Prepared to Offer Sustainable Aviation Fuels

Hawthorne Global Aviation Services, LLC ("Hawthorne") is pleased to announce, in conjunction with its nationwide fuel provider, Titan Aviation Fuels, they are now able to provide sustainable aviation fuels ("SAF") to those who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

As many aircraft owners and operators seek to find carbon neutral alternatives to traditional jet fuel, Hawthorne is supportive of those efforts and will be able to supply those fuels as needed by our customers. Cameron Burr, Executive Chairman of Hawthorne, was quoted as saying, "as the world seeks to provide cost effective alternatives to existing fossil fuels, we at Hawthorne believe that the general aviation services industry can be at the forefront of that effort."

With a single load of SAF, an aircraft operator can make a two metric ton reduction in CO2 emissions and, as their partner Titan Aviation Fuels increases their ability to offer this as an alternative, Hawthorne intends to be amongst the first of its FBO partners in providing it to our customers.

Environmental sustainability is important to our financial sponsors as well as NexPhase Capital Partners ("NexPhase") has created a portfolio-wide emphasis on the concept including creation of officers within each company to focus on this and other corporate governance issues. NexPhase partner Jamie Kaufman added, "With our increased attention to environmental, sustainability and governance issues within our portfolio of companies, we are very supportive of Hawthorne's efforts to provide an alternative to traditional fossil fuels."
