Emirates' first of three December A380 with SAF


Emirates has welcomed A6-EVL, its 116th A380 as the first of three A380s to join its fleet in 2020, the other two arriving later this month.

 

The delivery flight was powered by a blend of conventional jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This is the first time the airline is using SAF to power an A380. The biofuel used for the flight was produced from used cooking oil in Finland.

 

Emirates' A380 currently flies to Amman, Cairo, Guangzhou, London, Manchester, Moscow and Paris, and recently services have been ramped up to four daily A380s on London Heathrow and daily flights to Moscow.

 

The double-decker is also demonstrating its versatility by being utilised as a "mini-freighter" on select cargo charter operations to transport urgently required cargo across the Emirates network. (ah)
