Ryanair doubles SAF deal with Austrian supplier
Ryanair is ramping up sustainable aviation fuel usage in Europe.
It is doubling its supply deal with Austria based OMV.
Six months ago Ryanair inked a supply deal to take 500 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel.
It just announced it will take another 500 tonnes of SAF from OMV in 2024.
This agreement will save a further 1,250 tonnes in CO2 emissions, the airline says, which is equivalent to about 100 Ryanair flights from Dublin to Austrian capital Vienna.
Ryanair’s Director of Sustainability, Tom Fowler, said: “SAF plays a key role in our Pathway to Net Zero decarbonisation strategy.”
“We have committed to increasing our use of over the coming years – a commitment that this deal with OMV will help move further forward.”
OMV is a key fuel supply partner for Ryanair in Austria, Germany and Romania.
OMV is one of Austria’s largest listed industrial companies with a workforce of over 22,000.
“We are building a growth business for Sustainable Aviation Fuel to support the industry’s journey towards a more sustainable future,” Martijn van Koten, OMV EVP of Fuels & Feedstock said last year during the initial supply partnership launch.
