Delta expands SAF access through multi-airport collaboration with Shell Aviation
In Georgia, Delta Air Lines said it is scaling SAF through a multi-airport collaboration supported by Shell Aviation that aims to expand SAF availability and adoption.
Together, the two companies will expand SAF availability across key U.S. hubs and priority cities — including Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Portland International Airport (PDX), John. F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Logan International Airport (BOS) and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) — while building the infrastructure needed to support long term, reliable supply.
Under the five-year agreement, Delta plans to expand the supply of SAF through 2030, building on decades of collaboration on conventional jet fuel with Shell. The agreement builds on existing SAF initiatives between the two companies and is designed to support consistent fuel delivery.
“Current instability and uncertainty have made one thing very clear to consumers and businesses alike — supply diversity matters. With Shell, we’re proving that scaling SAF isn’t theoretical, it’s achievable,” said Amelia DeLuca, Delta’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “This is about activating real supply chains at scale and creating a model that others can build on as we work across the industry to expand lower impact travel.”
Delta and Shell will work together to evaluate and advance next generation SAF technologies — including alcohol to jet and power to liquid pathways — aimed at unlocking additional supply and further reducing lifecycle emissions over time.
