First SAF flight from LUX
Cargolux, Lux Airport, Neste and World Fuel Services joined forces to secure the first delivery of SAF to Luxembourg airport. The bio-based fuel was delivered via Nato’s Central European Pipeline System. The SAF is from sustainably sourced, 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials, in compliance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Using this SAF, Cargolux operated a carbon neutral flight from Luxembourg to Zhengzhou, its biggest hub in mainland China. The 747-8F landed at its destination on time for a ceremony marking the tenth year since Cargolux first started operating services to Zhengzhou.
The occasion and related ceremonies focused on sustainability and the aim to build a "Green Silk Road" between both airports. (ah)
