The industry must be allowed to grow in order to self-finance its transition to greater sustainability—but it must do so responsibly.

Besides corporate aviation customers, the deal includes four fuel providers and three airlines.

Under book-and-claim, airlines operating from locations where there is no SAF available can buy SAF for use elsewhere.
