In New Jersey, AIN Online reported that Daher has transitioned its flight operations at its Tarbes headquarters in southwestern France to sustainable aviation fuel. According to the report, the company’s flight activities at Tarbes include production, testing, training, maintenance, and delivery. To power these activities, the firm now uses a blend of 30% SAF produced by Neste.
Nicolas Chabbert, the company’s senior VP of its aircraft division, said: “We took the initiative of going a step further by joining with the Spanish airline Volotea to convince World Fuel Services to supply SAF on the platform. We expect our example will bring other operators to use renewable energy on airplanes.”
According to James Hardacre, World Fuel’s VP of business aviation sales for Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, Daher’s adoption of SAF for its needs at Tarbes means “all users at this facility can now benefit from our supply of Neste-blended jet fuel.”
