Epic Aviation, SkyNRG to supply sustainable biojet fuel in US, Canada

November 10, 2011 |

In Florida, Epic Aviation has teamed with Dutch SkyNRG to supply sustainable biojet fuel in the US and Canadian markets. The first collaboration is the supply of fuel for Alaska Airlines’ 75 regularly scheduled flights out of its Seattle hub in November that will run on 20% biofuel.

“Partnering with SkyNRG and Epic on this project was a true demonstration of our collective will and commitment,” said Jay Long, Alaska Airlines’ director of fuel administration. “Despite numerous challenges along the way, we never lost sight of our overall goal of raising awareness of the need to support a sustainable and affordable aviation fuel alternative within the U.S. airline industry.”

“We have tried to make the entry barrier for airlines to embrace this new fuel era as low as possible“ says  SkyNRG’s Managing Director Dirk Kronemeijer. “Being selected as supplier for Alaska Airlines proves that we are on the right track to help create this industry in North America together with our great partner EPIC Aviation LLC. As from today we are open for any request on sustainable jet fuel out of more than 400 Airport locations in North America”
