In Hungary, Wizz Air, Airbus, as well as Moeve and Charleroi Airport, announced the successful completion of sustainable aviation fuel operational trial. During the trial, Wizz Air operated more than 50 flights using a blend of SAF and traditional jet fuel, according to the mass balancing model. The airline noted that the initiative demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating SAF into regular operations and highlighted areas for future development, including infrastructure upgrades and cost optimization. Yvonne Moynihan, Corporate & ESG Officer of Wizz Air, said: “The successful completion of this trial reaffirms our commitment to flying towards sustainability. We are deeply grateful to our valued passengers who participated in this first-of-its-kind survey, providing invaluable insights into their awareness and attitudes toward SAF and sustainable travel. It’s encouraging to see that 71% recognized SAF’s positive impact and are willing to engage with sustainable practices. However, many respondents highlighted a need for greater clarity in SAF’s role in decarbonization, its cost implications, and the role of regulation.
