Virgin Atlantic, Delta partner for additional sustainable aviation fuel supply
Virgin Atlantic has inked a new supply agreement for sustainable aviation fuel.
The SAF is produced by Gevo, Inc. and supplied by Virgin Atlantic’s joint venture partner, Delta Air Lines.
The agreement with Delta supports the long-term sustainable aviation fuel,partnership between Delta and Gevo.
It increases the use of SAF from the US West Coast.
SAF produced by Gevo will come from one of its future production facilities.
This agreement with Delta represents 20% of Virgin Atlantic’s 2030 SAF target.
It is equivalent to fuelling more than 500 flights across the transatlantic from Los Angeles.
Holly Boyd Boland, VP Corporate Development said: “The demand from airlines is clear and Virgin Atlantic is committed to supporting the scale up of SAF production.”
