Bar and line chart showing monthly Jet-A and AvGas fuel volumes at KCIA (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport) for 2024 and early 2025. Data shows 2024 Jet-A volumes ranging from approximately 1,449,000 to 2,138,000 gallons monthly, with 2025 January and February Jet-A volumes of 2,022,000 and 1,833,000 gallons respectively.
Author: Jodi Richards Published in: November-December 2023 In early May, Centennial Airport (APA) in Englewood, CO, became that state’s first airport to offer unleaded aviation gas for piston-engine aircraft. The active general aviation facility is even offsetting associated costs for early adopters who buy the more expensive eco-friendly alternative. Executive Director Mike Fronapfel says that

Swift Fuels, a West Lafayette, Indiana-based company, presented on unleaded aviation gasoline at the Aviation Noise & Emissions Symposium 2023 at UC Davis. The company markets two premium unleaded avgas products: UL94, sold since 2015 with FAA STC approval and ASTM D7547 certification, and a forthcoming high-octane 100R formula. These fuels are designed as lead-free alternatives to conventional aviation gasoline, with approvals from both engine and airframe original equipment manufacturers.

The Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions Initiative (EAGLE) is a coalition of government and industry partners, including the FAA and major aviation associations, working to eliminate lead emissions from aviation gasoline by the end of 2030 without compromising the safety or efficiency of general aviation. The initiative operates through four key pillars: supply chain infrastructure and deployment, research and innovation, unleaded fuel evaluation and authorization, and regulation and policy activities. A presentation on the initiative was delivered at the Aviation Noise & Emissions Symposium at U.C. Davis on May 2, 2023.
Proposed Endangerment Finding, if finalized, is an important step forward to address the largest remaining source of lead pollution to air October 7, 2022 Contact Information EPA Press Office (press@epa.gov) EPA Proposes Endangerment Finding for Lead Emissions from Aircraft Engines that Operate on Leaded Fuel Proposed Endangerment Finding, if finalized, is an important step forward

There is this form of air pollution, which you probably have not heard of, called ultrafine particulates (UFPs). Though they are invisible, they seem to have some particularly nasty effects on human health. UFPs have not been well-studied, they are unregulated, and yet they are prevalent in commercial jet engine emissions. But this is not

This 2021 report by Mountain Data Group, commissioned by Santa Clara County, examines the health risks posed to children living near Reid-Hillview Airport in California due to lead emissions from leaded aviation gasoline. It analyzes statistical associations between children's blood lead levels and factors such as residential distance from the airport, aircraft traffic, and fuel sales. Note that while this report focuses on lead exposure from aviation fuel at a California airport, it does not address noise policy or Sea-Tac Airport operations.

This EPA technical report presents model-extrapolated estimates of airborne lead concentrations at U.S. airports resulting from the use of leaded aviation gasoline (avgas) in piston-engine aircraft. The report describes air quality modeling methods, air quality factors (AQFs), and national analysis methods used to identify airports where lead concentrations may exceed the National Ambient Air Quality
