JetBlue marks 1st regular SAF supply for commercial air travel in New York

JetBlu (JBLU) along with its fuel partners marked the first-ever regular supply of sustainable aviation fuel SAF for commercial air travel in the region at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport JFK . This milestone for SAF availability in the Northeast brings to reality an announcement from last summer, outlining JetBlue’s 12-month agreement with World Fuel Services World Fuel , a World Kinect company (WKC), for at least 1 million gallons of neat SAF to be provided by Valero Marketing and Supply Company Valero , a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation (VLO). JetBlue’s SAF supply is made possible through corporate business partners who help cover the cost premium over traditional jet fuel. An additional 4 million gallons of neat SAF is possible under the terms of the deal with the support of corporate partners. “JFK has been JetBlue’s home for 25 years, and our operations here should set the standard we envision for our entire network.” said Ursula Hurley, chief financial officer, JetBlue. “Thank you to the many teams and partners who have helped make this possible. Incorporating SAF into our flights is an important lever in decarbonizing the aviation industry and expanding its availability to our Northeast airports is a big step.”
