Aircraft leasing firm Jackson Square Aviation (JSA) has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Future Energy Global (FEG) to promote sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the industry’s push towards net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050. This collaboration will provide JSA’s airline clients with enhanced access to SAF, combining JSA’s leasing solutions with FEG’s SAF supply network, which includes corporate buyers, suppliers and analytics.
“As a key player in the commercial aviation value chain, Jackson Square takes its sustainability responsibilities very seriously,” said Ryan Opeka, Chief Operating Officer of JSA. “We recognise the importance of investing in a more sustainable future for the global air transport industry. At JSA, we pride ourselves on owning one of the most modern and fuel-efficient fleets in the industry and we are a strong proponent of the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) globally. In partnership with Future Energy Global, JSA will apply our finance expertise to help our existing and future airline clients decarbonise their operations with SAF.”
Future Energy Global CEO Natasha Mann emphasised the importance of collaboration among aviation stakeholders to achieve net-zero targets, with JSA setting a precedent by prioritising SAF adoption.
SAF, derived from renewable sources such as crops, waste, and renewable electricity, can significantly reduce lifecycle CO₂ emissions compared to conventional fuel and is expected to drive two-thirds of the aviation sector’s emissions reductions by 2050. accelerates SAF production through advance purchase commitments, providing financial stability for suppliers and consistent SAF access for buyers, thus fostering the growth of a sustainable aviation ecosystem.
