In the UK, Simple Flying reported that the Royal Air Force (RAF) Red Arrows will fly using sustainable aviation fuel during the 2025 Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), taking place from July 18 to 20, 2025. The Red Arrows made their first SAF-powered flypast over London on June 14, 2025, for King Charles.
During the RIAT airshow, the Red Arrows will use both SAF and a Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) to create their signature vapour trails. This will mark the first-ever aerobatic performances by the Red Arrows at the airshow using both SAF and HVO, according to the report.
Also flying on SAF will be the RAF’s Typhoon display team, which made history by performing its first full routine using sustainable fuel at last year’s show, the report added.
