In France, VINCI Airports, operator of Toulon Hyères airport, and WFS, holder of the airport’s fuelling contract, said they are launching a sustainable aviation fuel service available to commercial and business aviation companies operating at the airport. The fuels will be distributed in a 30% blend with conventional kerosene. To distribute these fuels, VINCI Airports and WFS have chosen a 100% electric refueling truck, i.e. with electric propulsion and distribution, maximizing the positive impact of this new service. VINCI Airports is continuing to deploy them on its network with the provision of SAF at Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne airport and Grenoble Alpes Isère airport. “This new offer of sustainable aviation fuel with a 100% electric vehicle demonstrates once again VINCI Airports’ commitment to the decarbonization of air transport, which we are applying here at Toulon Hyères Airport,” said Basma Jarbouai, Director of Toulon Hyères Airport, VINCI Airports.
