Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has been a growing part of business aviation for more than a decade.

- Nate Dietsch, assistant aviation maintenance manager, Netflix
- Charles Etter, staff scientist and technical fellow, Gulfstream Aerospace
- Frank Moesta, SVP for strategy and future programs, Rolls-Royce
