Greg Fell speaks at the 2022 JETNET iQ Summit

As a strong believer in the positive power of business aviation, I was gratified by the broad sense of genuine support for promoting and accelerating the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel and carbon offsets. Here’s a short sample of the message I relayed to the audience:

We must be leaders in the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels and carbon offsets. If we wait, we will be disrupted by this issue. The 60-year-old executive flying in a business jet may not care. But the 40-year-old executive flying in a business jet does care. That difference is enough to disrupt our industry. Waiting is not a strategy.

The drive to sustainability is real. This disruption is going to happen. If you are a student of disruptions, you know how these things work. We can be leaders, or we can wait to be disrupted. I believe we should be leaders. We should be leading the charge into sustainable aviation fuel and carbon offsets. If we don’t, someone or something else will disrupt our industry.

We look forward to seeing you at the next JETNET iQ Global Business Aviation Summit!
