Bombardier receives first shipment of sustainable aviation fuel in Montreal:
28 November 2019: Bombardier has received an inaugural shipment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its Montreal facilities. This step is the first in the company's plan to secure long-term partnerships with fuel suppliers to deploy SAF to all of its facilities as worldwide supply becomes more readily available. This shows the company's commitment to sustainable flying.
"We stand behind our commitment to help promote the increased use of SAF throughout the industry," said David Coleal, President, Bombardier Aviation. "Today, we are proud to offer it for the first time at one of our Canadian facilities and it's only the beginning. Bombardier is working toward ensuring that the use of these fuels becomes a standard in our day-to-day operations as we do our part to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide and meet the longstanding industry climate pledge."
From 2017, Bombardier has received a supply of SAF for use during demonstration flights at its Hartford, CT, facility, home to the company's customer demonstration operations.Also, Bombardier flies its entire fleet of demonstration aircraft into major airshows and events to raise industry awareness and to demonstrate that SAF can become a mainstream, drop-in alternative to traditional jet fuel for general aviation aircraft.
