Key Takeaways:

Dassault Aviation is committing to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for all customer acceptance and departure flights from its Little Rock, Arkansas, completion facility.
This move is part of Dassault's broader strategy to reduce its carbon footprint, as SAF can cut carbon emissions by 80 to 90 percent compared to conventional jet fuel.
While current Falcon models are certified to use up to 50 percent SAF blends, the new Falcon 10X ultralong-range jet will be capable of using a 100 percent SAF blend when it enters service.
