Cathay Pacific’s SAF program soared in 2025

In Hong Kong, Cathay achieved another milestone year for its Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Programme in 2025, as more corporate and cargo customers join forces to decarbonize business travel and air cargo shipments. Building on the strong momentum since its launch in 2022, the programme saw another year of record growth, with SAF commitments more than doubling from 2024.

This growth was enabled by 17 global partners, whose commitment and leadership have helped keep the programme positioned as one of the leading initiatives of its kind globally. Together, the corporate partners have committed to using around 17,400 metric tons of SAF, representing an increase of nearly 180% compared with 2024. This is equivalent to a reduction of approximately 54,600 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions on a lifecycle basis — equal to the emissions of about 61,800 Economy class round trips between Hong Kong and London.
