Friday, 30 May, 2024 0

Flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has completed its first flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel.

The flight this week was on a Vietnam Airlines Airbus A321 which was blended with SAF at Changi Airport in Singapore ahead of its return flight to Hanoi.

It was supplied by Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

It marks a first for a Vietnam Airlines commercial flight.

It is also the first foreign based Asia Pacific airline to use Neste’s supply at Singapore Changi.

“We are working with our supply chain partners to extend the usage of SAF in the future, helping to reach net-zero emissions and climate change prevention targets,’ said Nguyen Chien Thang, EVP of Vietnam Airlines.
