In France, Vinci Airports reported that Budapest airport, part of the VINCI Airports network since June 2024, has successfully passed the audit criteria for the introduction of sustainable aviation fuel through its subsidiary, Airport Fuel Supply Ltd. Budapest Airport is testing the commercial use of SAF since 2023, in cooperation with the MOL, Wizz Air and AFS Ltd. airlines, with the aim of meet a stringent set of sustainability criteria. Budapest Airport’s subsidiary, AFS Ltd. successfully passed last November, and thus acquired the required ISCC EU certification. This certification is a prerequisite for the airport operator to provide airlines with the minimum 2% sustainable aviation fuel from 1 January 2025, as required by the relevant regulation. “Sustainable aviation fuel emits about 80% less carbon dioxide compared to conventional kerosene and can therefore make a significant contribution to the decarbonization of the aviation industry. The availability of sustainable aviation fuel at Budapest Airport is a very important milestone and will greatly contribute to the future reduction of Budapest Airport’s indirect carbon emissions from its corporate value chain activities.” emphasized Francois Berisot, the CEO of Budapest Airport.
