Air France-KLM has signed two new multi-year agreements to purchase sustainable aviation fuel, the airline group announced this week. The company has set a SAF target of 10 percent of its fuel by 2030.
Its deal with producer Neste for 1 million tons to be delivered between 2023 and 2030 extends the companies’ partnership, which began “several years” ago, according to Neste, with KLM one of the first airlines to use the producer’s SAF.
The second deal is for 600,000 metric tons from DG Fuels to be delivered from 2027 to 2036 from a plant to be located in Louisiana. The contract “is expected to make Air France-KLM DGF’s largest European airline customer,” according to the fuel producer.
Air France-KLM is in discussions to add additional SAF suppliers, according to the airline company.
