[…]
In California, as airlines work to reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency with existing aircraft and infrastructure, a critical barrier to 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) adoption has been overcome. Independent testing by Washington State University has validated that Universal Fuel Technologies’ (Unifuel) Flexiforming technology successfully converts HEFA-derived naphtha into synthetic aromatic kerosene that, when […]
In Germany, more than 5% of Lufthansa Group passengers have chosen a more sustainable travel option in 2025 – for example, the Green Fares flight fares. Four years ago, this share was below 0.1 percent. Last year, the volume of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) sold across various offerings more than doubled. Passengers’ active commitment to […]
