Sedona Airport (KSEZ) in Arizona now offers sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Avfuel’s first truckload of SAF arrived at Red Rock Aviation on June 5, 2024. Moving forward, the FBO will receive a shipment of SAF about once every two months or once every 10th delivery of jet fuel, Avfuel officials said.
The airport is Avfuel’s first location to offer SAF in the state of Arizona. While it is available for sale to general aviation pilots, it is also used to support the region’s aerial firefighting activities, Avfuel officials said.
The fuel is produced by Neste in Long Beach, California, and branded as Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
Each 8,000-gallon truckload delivery of the jet fuel provides a 19 metric ton reduction in carbon emissions over the fuel’s lifecycle. That’s the equivalent of taking 4.5 passenger vehicles off the road for a year, Avfuel officials explained.

This is for Jets and Turboprops. Not for Recip gasoline engines!
Thanks for emphasizing that said fuel is for turbines only, Dee!
It should have been emphasized clearly in the article.
