Fixed-base operator (FBO) Sonoma Jet Center in Santa Rosa, California, will host a Green Fuel Day Celebration April 18 to underscore its commitment to cleaner aviation practices and the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

During the event, the FBO at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (KSTS) will offer SAF at the same price as conventional jet fuel for one day only, in collaboration with fuel supplier Avfuel.

Pilots, aviation industry leaders and the community have been invited to witness “tangible efforts toward achieving business aviation’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said parent company Sonoma Aviation.

“Adopting sustainable aviation fuel is a crucial step toward ensuring that future generations inherit a passion for aviation and a cleaner environment,” said Josh Hochberg, Sonoma Aviation president. “We’re proud to facilitate this transition.”

Avfuel supplies SAF, a Jet A drop-in fuel, to 13 FBOs in the U.S., as well as directly to aircraft manufacturers and corporate flight departments.

“Avfuel is proud to partner with fellow leaders in sustainability like Sonoma Aviation,” said David Mittleman, Avfuel senior sales manager for the western U.S. “This Green Day Fuel Celebration provides a great opportunity to not only further educate the business aviation community, but the community at large on what SAF is and how it’s helping our industry achieve real, measurable sustainability goals.”

The event at KSTS also kicks off a “Green Week” celebration by Sonoma Aviation that will feature sustainability initiatives at both Sonoma Jet Center and Carlsbad Jet Center in Carlsbad, California (KCRQ).
