Jet Aviation provides sustainable aviation fuel during WEF
Jet Aviation provides again sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) during the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026. This will be the fifth year the company has supported SAF availability in Zurich as part of its ongoing efforts to enable more sustainable choices for its customers. Jet Aviation was the first company to make SAF available in Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum in 2020. Since then, it has offered an on-site supply of SAF during WEF 2023, 2024, and 2025, and via Book & Claim in 2022. SAF is widely recognized as having the potential to lower lifecycle emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. “We are delighted to be able to offer SAF on-site again during the World Economic Forum in Davos,” says Joao Martins, vice president FBO operations Europe & general manager, Zurich. “SAF is an important part of supporting our industry’s efforts towards a more sustainable future. Since introducing SAF for WEF in 2020, we have continued to support its availability for the meeting, as well as expanding access at our sites in Switzerland, including introducing a permanent supply at our global headquarters in Basel.” Jet Aviation supports customer access to SAF through a combination of on-site availability at 13 facilities worldwide and via its global Book & Claim program, which enables customers to access the benefits of SAF in locations where a physical supply is not yet available.
