... Based on these events, it is likely that over the coming decade, alternative jet fuels will be available in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of a few large airports. 6.3 Implementation Realities The airports surveyed for this project were generally open to the idea of using alternative fuels as long as they met the current or new jet fuel specifications and were drop-in fuels.
