Air Cargo Key to Supply Chain Resilience
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) emphasized the vital role of air cargo in maintaining global supply chain resilience and called on governments and industry to remain focused on delivering the fundamental expectations of customers—safety and security, digitalization and sustainability. “Whether supporting global trade, enabling e-commerce, or delivering vital humanitarian aid, the value of air […]
IAG and Microsoft strengthen partnership with largest and longest Scope 3 Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) agreement to date
International Airlines Group (IAG) and Microsoft are strengthening their efforts to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions across the industry by extending their 2023 co-funded purchase agreement for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)* by five years. Under the new terms, Microsoft will co-fund an additional 39,000 tonnes of SAF that will help reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by approximately […]
DB Schenker targets scope 3 CO2e reductions with Finnair
Freight forwarder DB Schenker will purchase nearly 400 tons of scope 3 CO2e reductions, equalling approximately 120 tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), from Finnair. By co-funding SAF with Finnair, DB Schenker will receive a verified scope 3 emissions reduction certificate to confirm its contribution to decreasing air cargo-related emissions. Scope 3 emissions are not […]
PACIFIC, a new European project led by Airbus, will advance research on contrail mitigation and non-CO2 impacts
Airbus, within a consortium of 10 partners from four European countries, has launched PACIFIC, a project to study the impact of aviation’s non-CO2 emissions on Local Air Quality and Climate with a focus on contrails. Recent studies suggest that the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) could reduce both soot particles and contrail ice crystals. […]
Airbus showcases hydrogen aircraft technologies during its 2025 Airbus Summit
During the 2025 Airbus Summit, Airbus provided an update on its roadmap to pioneer the future of commercial aviation in the decades to come, outlining plans to prepare a next-generation single-aisle aircraft that could enter service in the second half of the 2030s, as well as its revised ZEROe project roadmap to mature the technologies […]
Study reveals $45 billion investment needed to meet sustainable aviation fuel targets by 2030
A new study by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Kearney reveals that capital expenditures required to meet Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) demand by 2030 could reach $45 billion. According to the report, “Financing Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Case Studies and Implications for Investment,” global SAF demand is expected to reach 17 million tons per year […]
The SAF dilemma
The air cargo industry is at a crossroads regarding sustainability. While airlines and logistics companies are committed to reducing their carbon footprint, one of the biggest roadblocks remains the availability and scalability of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This issue took centre stage during a panel discussion at the World Cargo Summit (WCS) in Ostend, where […]
DHL and Neste delve deeper into SAF to cut airfreight emissions
DHL Group and sustainable fuels producer Neste will jointly evaluate how sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can support DHL in its air transport decarbonisation targets. The parties will develop a commercial model that is expected by 2030 to lead to the off-take of around 300,000 tons of Neste’s neat (unblended) SAF per year for DHL, as […]
IATA Releases SAF Accounting and Reporting Methodology
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released its methodology for accounting and reporting the emissions reduction associated with the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by airlines. SAF is an essential component of airline plans to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The IATA methodology fulfils the critical need to ensure that SAF’s contribution to aviation’s […]
