October 11, 2023 – HOUSTON – World Fuel Services (World Fuel) is delivering sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to Las Vegas Valley airports, including Henderson Executive Airport (KHND) – the host airport for this year’s National Business Association’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), North Las Vegas Airport (KVGT) and Atlantic Aviation at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS). These deliveries provide NBAA-BACE 2023 attendees access to the currently limited supply of SAF. Increasing the accessibility of renewable fuels like SAF worldwide is a key tenet of World Fuel’s mission to enable its customers and partners to decarbonize their operations.
World Fuel is set to supply SAF, sourced from World Energy's refinery in Paramount, California. This initiative extends World Fuel's proven track record of delivering sustainable energy solutions to its customers, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions. Since 2015, World Fuel has delivered nearly 40 million gallons of SAF to business and commercial aviation customers worldwide.
“Expanding SAF supply to three locations during NBAA-BACE showcases our commitment to the growth of SAF supply. We continue to offer solutions to help enable our customers’ journey to net zero and to help the industry cut carbon emissions by 50 percent,” said Malcolm Hawkins, senior vice president, global business aviation, World Fuel Services. “We have completely integrated sustainability options in our offerings to FBOs and flight departments.”
World Fuel is uniquely positioned to help customers reach their sustainability goals because of its in-house expertise provided by World Kinect Energy Services, its sustainability division. They help develop and fulfill comprehensive sustainability solutions all under one roof, offering solutions supporting four key activities:
- Develop a carbon reduction plan
- Reduce energy use

- Offset carbon emissions – a bridge to net zero
Attendees of NBAA-BACE can speak with experts on starting their sustainability journey in World Fuel’s booth, #C10808, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
