Luxaviation reports 59% increase in SAF uplift

Luxaviation recorded an increase in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) uplift from 65,932 litres in 2023 to 105,144 litres in 2024 (59%), according to its latest annual sustainability report.

As well as scaling up the use of SAF across its global network, the report outlines Luxavation’s “significant” progress in expanding reporting boundaries, enhancing data quality and electrifying ground handling equipment. 

Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group, said: “Our 60th anniversary in 2024 marked a significant milestone – a journey defined by a relentless pursuit of excellence. We continue to build on our heritage, staying true to our identity while embracing the transformations needed to unlock the future of aviation. This year’s sustainability report demonstrates how we are putting our vision of more sustainable, responsible and client-focused aviation into practice.” 

Luxaviation Group subsidiary ExecuJet achieved 64% progress toward its target of electrifying 65% of ground handling equipment by 2027 and reaching full electrification by 2030. ExecuJet France also became the first FBO within the group to fully electrify its fleet of ground handling equipment and provide physical SAF at its Paris Le Bourget facility. 

In 2024, Luxaviation integrated an industry-first carbon calculator into its App –  proprietary tool that allows users to track and offset the environmental footprint of their journeys. 

Luxaviation Group was recognised with the prestigious Sir Michael Marshall Award for Sustainability in Aviation. The group also 4,370 hours dedicated to volunteering activities and over €57,000 donated to initiatives aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Internally, €8.4m was invested into employee training, and women now hold 31.7% of management positions across the organisation, according to the report.

Luxaviation also completed the acquisition of Sky Valet FBOs, Paragon Aviation, and experiential travel firm La Fugue. While ExecuJet launched its luxury terminal at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport.

The group also conducted its third greenhouse gas emissions assessment, completed its second Double Materiality Assessment and developed its first group-wide Sustainability Policy. 

Additionally, Luxaviation became a strategic partner in ForeFlight’s collaboration with Breakthrough Energy, supporting research and implementation of contrail avoidance strategies.
