Clay Lacy Joins NBAA at ‘CLIMBING. FAST.’ Capitol Hill Fly-In Advocating for Sustainability
Published: NBAA
Washington, DC, March 19, 2026 – Business aviation professionals from across the country gathered on Capitol Hill March 18 for a daylong series of meetings with congressional lawmakers and staff to advance policies supporting the industry’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, while strengthening American energy independence and supporting rural economies.
The CLIMBING. FAST. Capitol Hill Fly-In, organized by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), underscored the industry’s essential role in supporting 1.3 million American jobs and nearly $340 billion in economic output, while driving innovation in sustainable technologies and clean fuels.
“The reduced tax credit has made it more financially advantageous for producers to make renewable diesel instead of SAF,” said Scott Cutshall, president of real estate and sustainability at Clay Lacy Aviation and committee co-chair. “Restoring the credit to $1.75 is critical to give producers the confidence to continue building production capacity.”
Clay Lacy Aviation, a fixed-base operator, has offered SAF since 2021 and was among the first 10 airport locations in the U.S. to do so.
