Clean Fuel in Sin City

Aircraft flying into Las Vegas for 2023’s National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) will have an opportunity to fuel up with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), an innovation ostensibly salient to the aviation industry’s expressed goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in coming years.

NBAA will host the event, which spans 19-19 October, at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and Henderson Executive Airport (HND).

Slated to be available at HND, North Las Vegas Airport (VGT) and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), SAF—according to the companies by which the stuff is made—reduces aviation carbon emissions by up to eighty-percent.

World Fuel Services will provide forty-thousand gallons of SAF at HND—more than double the total volume of the bio-derivative product available at the airport for 2021’s NBAA’s convention. SAF provided by World Fuel Services will also be available, for the first time, at VGT. At LAS, SAF will be on offer at Signature and Atlantic Aviation.

NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen stated: “Providing SAF for aircraft departing from this year’s convention not only makes the event more sustainable, but allows NBAA members to take an active role in helping the industry to achieve our net-zero target.”

Broadly considered the world’s largest business aviation event, NBAA-BACE affords attendees opportunity to explore new and extant technologies germane to business aviation through interaction with thousands of OEMs, vendors, and industry pioneers.

2023’s NBAA-BACE hootenanny will highlight the business aviation industry’s focus on sustainability with an emphasis on the notable innovations and advancements by which the aerospace’s future is apt to be shaped.

Founded in 1947 for purpose of fostering an environment conducive to business aviation’s success both in the United States and around the world, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) is a Washington D.C.-based non-profit organization representing upwards of ten-thousand company and individual members.
