Singapore Airlines, Scoot set new sustainable aviation fuel target
SIA Group brands Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Scoot pledged to use 5% of total fuel requirements with sustainable aviation fuels within seven years.
It announced its intention to meet the 5% SAF target by 2030.
Sustainable aviation fuel can cut carbon emissions by up to 80% on a life-cycle basis compared to conventional jet fuel.
Goh Choon Phong, CEO, Singapore Airlines, said: “This is an important milestone in the SIA Group’s sustainability journey.”
“Greater use of sustainable aviation fuel will be a key lever in our decarbonisation strategy’
“However, deeper collaboration with partners and stakeholders, both in Singapore and around the world, is needed for all of us to meet our collective sustainability targets.”
The Group is in discussions with fuel suppliers to purchase sustainable aviation fuels.
Further details will be announced in the future.
In 2017, in partnership with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), SIA operated 12 green package flights from San Francisco to Singapore.
These flights were powered by blended SAF, fuel-efficient aircraft, and optimised flight operations.
In 2020, SIA entered a year-long partnership with Stockholm’s Swedavia Airport to deploy a blend of jet fuel and SAF through the airport’s fuel hydrant system for flights between Stockholm and Moscow.
In September 2023, SIA, CAAS, and GenZero concluded a 20-month SAF pilot scheme.
Under this, 1,000 tonnes of neat SAF were imported, blended in Singapore, and uplifted via Changi Airport’s fuel hydrant system on SIA and Scoot flights.
