In India, BioEnergy Times reported that the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) and eight Thai airlines have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuel.
The eight airlines that signed the MOU are Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, K-Mile Air, Nok Air, Thai AirAsia, Thai AirAsia X, Thai Lion Air and Thai Vietjet Air.
CAAT acknowledged that the higher cost of SAF remains a major challenge. To help address this, it is considering the introduction of a voluntary carbon surcharge on international flights beginning in 2026. The surcharge would reflect the cost of cutting and offsetting emissions in Thailand’s aviation sector, and CAAT said it will ensure transparency and follow international rules while assessing the proposal, according to the report.
