Dozens of young business aviation leaders, hailing from all parts of the country, enthusiastically showcased the many ways business aviation supports citizens, companies and communities nationwide.

Gulfstream Aerospace is at the sustainability forefront. In addition to designing increasingly efficient business jets – its current fleet features fuel-efficiency gains of up to 33% over previous models – the company has implemented a series of initiatives to lower the environmental impact of its business operations during the past decade.

NBAA welcomes the Massachusetts Port Authority’s (Massport’s) recently announced roadmap for increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the Commonwealth and across New England.

The companies will develop a new technology enabling conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into high-quality, lower-emission renewable fuels, including SAF.

If it selects Jacksonville for the plant, Otto says it plans to employ a workforce of 1,200 employees who will earn an average annual compensation of $90,000.

Gevo's SAF-production plant will add jobs and enhance America's energy independence.
