In South Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported that Korean Ai, South Korea’s biggest carrier, said it has begun using more environmentally friendly aviation fuel on its Japan routes as part of efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
A 1% blend of domestically produced sustainable aviation fuel has been introduced on flights from Incheon to Kobe and those from Gimpo to Osaka, starting last week and continuing through Dec. 31, according to Korean Air.
The program applies to about 90 flights on the Incheon-Kobe route and 26 flights on the Gimpo-Osaka route, according to the report.
Korean Air previously used locally produced SAF on the Incheon-Haneda route beginning in August 2024 for about a year to verify the fuel’s safety and performance, the report added.
