Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre (HKBAC) has begun offering continuous supplies of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to its business aviation customers, becoming only the second company in Asia—following Jet Aviation Singapore—to do so.
Currently, all commercially available SAF is blended with traditional jet fuel, as pure SAF has not yet been approved for use due to its lack of aromatic compounds, which are essential for maintaining the tight seals in aircraft fuel systems. HKBAC’s CEO, Vivien Lau, confirmed the company is providing a 5% SAF blend from a local fuel supplier, a move that has been “very well received” by customers.
“We are thrilled to bring SAF to HKBAC, marking a pivotal moment in our journey toward greener aviation,” said Lau. “This launch reflects our leadership in driving innovation and sustainability, while supporting our clients in achieving their environmental goals. Together, we are shaping a more responsible and forward-thinking business aviation sector.”
The IS-BAH Stage 3-certified company is also undergoing a major expansion of its terminal at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH), which includes upgraded customs, immigration, and quarantine services, as well as an arrivals canopy. Set to be completed later this year, the expansion will double HKBAC’s capacity for handling business jet movements.
