Bangchak Group and Thai Airways announce first supply of Thailand-produced HEFA-SPK SAF to a Thai Airways flight
In Thailand, Bangchak Group and Thai Airways have marked a significant milestone for Thailand’s aviation and energy industries with the first supply by Bangchak Group of Thailand-produced HEFA-SPK sustainable aviation fuel to Thai Airways flight TG 409 on the Bangkok–Singapore route at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The HEFA-SPK SAF used for this flight was produced at Thailand’s first stand-alone SAF production facility, operated by Bangchak, the latter said.
The facility commenced commercial operations in May 2026, with an initial production capacity of one million liters per day. Used cooking oil serves as the primary feedstock. Compared with conventional aviation fuel, the SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over its life cycle. The production and supply system is certified under the internationally recognized ISCC CORSIA and ISCC EU standards, Bangchak said.
The HEFA-SPK SAF was transported from the Bangchak Refinery in Phra Khanong to Suvarnabhumi Airport via the pipeline system operated by Bangkok Fuel Pipeline and Logistics Company Limited (BPT).
