SAF

A first for the Portuguese airline, TAP Air Portugal recently performs a flight using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The service was operated with an Airbus A321neo and flew passengers from Lisbon to Ponta Delgada. The completion of this flight marks the start of a strategic alliance between the airline and ANA Aeroportos de Portugal for growing and producing sustainable aviation fuel.

Airbus is helping the German Air Force in its long-term transformation to increase the sustainability of its aircraft fleet. Airbus is operating with the German Air Force towards providing the Luftwaffe with a technical allowance to commence national A400M flight trials with loads of up to 50 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in the near term.
