For the first time, Bombardier Business Aircraft has delivered a new aircraft with a load of renewable fuel. The super-midsize Challenger 350 was handed over to San Diego–based aircraft management, charter, and sales provider Latitude 33, and it will become the sixth Challenger-series twinjet in the company’s fleet.

BJT columnist James Wynbrandt recently won a major award for this story about sustainable alternative jet fuel.

“We are very pleased that the customer and Latitude 33 Aviation joined us in demonstrating that SAF can become a mainstream, drop-in alternative to traditional jet fuel for general aviation aircraft,” said Peter Likoray, the airframer’s senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. “We are promoting the use of SAF as a regular part of flying business aircraft, and Latitude 33 Aviation’s trust as the first customer to fly away from our delivery center on these fuels represents a turning point in the longstanding and industry-wide pledge to reduce CO₂ emissions.”
