In the United States (US), luxury fixed base operator (FBO) Million Air Austin (KAUS) and fuel supplier Avfuel Corporation came together to boost sustainable aviation operations at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), with the addition of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The SAF—which went into service on November 20, 2025—provides a meaningful solution for operators seeking to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from flight operations, and marks the first SAF location in Texas for both companies, offering a consistent supply of SAF specifically for the airport’s business and general aviation traffic.
Originating in Texas, the SAF has a targeted blend percentage of 30 percent neat SAF to 70 percent fossil jet fuel.
For every 8,000-gallon truckload of fuel, the SAF provides a 19 tonne reduction in carbon emissions over the fuel’s lifecycle compared to petroleum-based jet fuel.
According to Avfuel, in its neat (pre-blended) form, SAF has the potential to reduce GHG emissions by up to 80 percent compared to traditional jet fuel.
The Million Air team has been an exceptional partner to work with in expanding sustainable fuel solutions. We’re proud to collaborate with them to establish our first consistent SAF-supplied location in Texas and help further their corporate initiatives on sustainability, said Mark Haynes, Avfuel’s VP of Sales.
Part of Beyond Green initiative
This initiative is part of Million Air’s Beyond Green sustainability program—a company-wide commitment to responsible aviation practices.
The Beyond Green platform focuses on integrating more sustainable solutions across Million Air’s network, from renewable energy investments and facility efficiencies to greener fuel options, like SAF. Million Air Austin joins Million Air Albany (KALB), which partnered with Avfuel to bring SAF online this summer.
Austin is a thriving, business-centric city that also deeply values environmental responsibility. Bringing SAF to Million Air Austin is about giving our customers meaningful options that align with both their travel needs and their sustainability goals. At Million Air, we believe sophistication and responsibility go hand-in-hand, and this step in our Beyond Green initiative reflects our commitment to making choices that support both our customers and our planet, said Roger Woolsey, CEO of Million Air Interlink.
