Repsol to supply SAF to Atlas Air
Repsol, a multi-energy company, has begun supplying sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to Atlas Air for use in all its flights with its customer Inditex from Zaragoza airport (Spain). Beginning in November, Atlas Air is initially incorporating 5% SAF in all its flights.
The agreement makes New York-based Atlas Air the first cargo airline to use SAF regularly on its cargo flights in Spain, marking a new milestone in the airline sector.
The initiative is in line with the companies’ commitments to achieve their respective carbon footprint reduction goals and positions them to comply with anticipated compliance measures included in the Refuel EU Aviation regulations that require use of 2% renewable fuels in 2025, 6% in 2030 and 70% in 2050, respectively.
