Korean Air partners with LX Pantos
Korean Air has partnered with LX Pantos, a global logistics company, to expand the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on cargo flights to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at the Korean Air headquarters on 20 November 2023, attended by Jaedong Eum (left), senior vice president and head of cargo business division at Korean Air, and Keun Taek Oh (right), vice president and head of the air freight business unit at LX Pantos.
In September, Korean Air launched a cargo SAF programme for air cargo customers and forwarders to make customised contributions to reduce their carbon footprint. Both companies have agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the cargo industry and foster awareness of SAF usage within Korea.
LX Pantos will purchase SAF for Korean Air’s cargo operations, and Korean Air will share the amount of carbon emissions reduced accordingly. (cj)
