In France, ATR and ATOBA ENERGY signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore ways to facilitate and accelerate SAF adoption for ATR operators. Through this agreement, the two companies will explore physical delivery solutions to streamline SAF access for regional airlines and technical and regulatory support to help airlines seamlessly integrate SAF in their operations. The pair will also explore the mass balance model, aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, enabling airlines to benefit from SAF’s environmental advantages without requiring direct physical access to the fuel. “Sustainable Aviation Fuel is one of the most effective tools we have to reduce carbon emissions in the near and medium term, and it plays a central role in ATR’s long-term environmental strategy,” said Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, CEO of ATR. “However, access to SAF remains a real challenge for many regional airlines, particularly those serving remote or underserved areas. This MoU is a decisive step toward removing those obstacles. By working with ATOBA ENERGY, we are not just promoting SAF — we are looking at making it a viable, scalable solution for operators across our entire global network.”
