Cathay Pacific touts SAF corporate programme progress
Cathay Pacific has achieved a number of new milestones in its sustainability journey.
The airline launched its Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Programme in 2022 and says it has achieved substantial growth this year.
It is becoming one of the biggest initiatives of its kind globally.
The SAF programme has introduced a tiered structure, allowing customers to participate based on their SAF demand and business needs.
Cathay Pacific just welcomed DB Schenker, the biggest contributor to the programme to date, and Kuehne+Nagel as Diamond partners.
Also, EQT joined as a Gold partner, and Julius Baer and Lenton Group are Silver partners, bringing the total to 15 partners this year.
Cathay also recognises the continued commitment of its longstanding partners, including Airport Authority Hong Kong, Standard Chartered Bank, Swire Pacific, Yusen Logistics, and the Business Environment Council.
The programme partners have committed to using 2,650 tonnes of SAF this year.
This is equivalent to a reduction of approximately 8,060 tonnes of carbon emissions, three times the reduction achieved last year.
Cathay Group CEO Ronald Lam said: “Our Corporate SAF Programme has now entered into its third year and keeps expanding.”
The programme is a key pillar in Cathay’s overall approach to leading the aviation industry’s decarbonization”
Compared to conventional jet fuel, sustainable aviation fuel can reduce over 80% of carbon emissions on a lifecycle basis.
Cathay Pacific was the first airline in Asia to announce a target of 10% SAF for its total fuel use by 2030.
Since then, the airline has successfully conducted SAF uplifts at both Hong Kong International Airport and other airports overseas.
