Banyan Air Service Now Offering Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport

March 19, 2025
This milestone underscores Banyan’s commitment to advancing sustainability in aviation while delivering exceptional service to its customers.

Banyan Air Service announces it is offering sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), making it one of the first South Florida FBOs to commit to SAF from the fuel’s new Port Everglades supply point. This significant milestone underscores Banyan’s commitment to advancing sustainability in aviation while delivering exceptional service to its customers.

The SAF supplied through Avfuel is blended at a 30% SAF to 70% conventional jet fuel ratio. This innovative fuel meets ASTM D-1655 specifications, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing aircraft and infrastructure - no modifications are required.

When blended at this level, SAF can lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 24% compared to traditional jet fuel. Moreover, 100% concentrated SAF (unblended) has the potential to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%, offering a path to significantly greener skies.

“Offering SAF is a monumental step for Banyan and the aviation community at FXE,” said Banyan Air Service COO Jon Tonko. “As the most effective way to reduce the environmental footprint of aviation today, SAF aligns with Banyan’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and supporting our customers in their efforts to fly greener.”

This drop-in fuel solution offers a simple, effective way for operators to make a positive environmental impact while maintaining optimal performance.

Customers can purchase SAF through Avfuel Contract Fuel; Avfuel is able to provide proper documentation for emissions reporting purposes.
