Atlantic Aviation puts SAF option into Stockton
Stockton airport is now one of only a few Northern California airports with SAF available on demand, supplied by Avfuel from Atlantic Aviation's FBO.

In partnership with local FBO Atlantic Aviation and Avfuel, Stockton Metropolitan airport is now offering sustainable aviation fuel to general aviation customers on demand. Customers requiring jet fuel while travelling to or from northern California no longer need make a reservation or maintain a fuelling contract to purchase SAF there.

"The environmental benefits of SAF are realised when the fuel is created via renewable feedstock instead of crude oil, not when it is combusted. Neat or unblended SAF reduces up to 80 per cent of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet fuel," says airport director Richard Sokol. "We intend to be a regional leader in environmental sustainability as San Joaquin County continues to welcome more economic growth to the area."

SAF in Stockton will be available via Atlantic Aviation's SAF Marketplace, which enables accounting and verification of claimed SAF purchases and provides customers with emissions reduction receipts upon request after their SAF gallons are dispensed. These receipts summarise key sustainability information and include chain of custody documentation evidencing traceability from fuel production to delivery.

Atlantic also offers SAF more broadly via the industry accepted book and claim process throughout its national network of more than 100 airport locations.

This development aligns well with other local sustainability initiatives; last week the San Joaquin County board of supervisors approved a $30 million solar energy project that includes a substantial airport component.
