25 carbon-neutral flights around the world
American Airlines, which has been taking delivery of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at San Francisco airport since last summer and has committed to using 9 million gallons of SAF over the coming three years, has reached an agreement in principle with Kuehne+Nagel to allocate a portion of the carbon reduction benefit it generates through the use of SAF to the logistics company.
The move is believed to be the largest SAF collaboration between a freight logistics company, one of American’s leading cargo customers, and an airline. The volume of 3 million gallons of fuel it covers equates to a reduction in lifecycle carbon emissions from air travel of nearly 26,000 metric tons of CO2 over three years, the equivalent of a Boeing B787-9 passenger aircraft flying around the world carbon-neutrally 25 times.
