Virgin Atlantic joins Delta for SAF corporate initiative

Thursday, 03 Oct, 2022 0

Virgin Atlantic is joining its expanded joint venture partners, Delta, Air France and KLM by offering a sustainable aviation fuel program (SAF) for its corporate customers.

The program will assist them in managing their emissions footprint.

The move represents a first for any airline joint venture business.

The scheme has been specifically designed for the airline’s corporate customers and allows them to improve their insight into their emissions through a CO2 methodology, helping them understand the true impact of their flying.

The programme is available to corporate customers or any size of location, across all four partner airlines.

Virgin Atlantic’s partners have already established corporate SAF programmes, with Delta, Air France and KLM already securing significant SAF funding from supportive customers throughout the US and Europe.

Virgin Atlantic’s enrolment in the wider scheme will provide the airline with the ability to offer SAF within the UK from its Heathrow hub.

In February, Virgin Atlantic announced its first UK SAF supply, with the arrival of 2.5 million litres of Neste Oyi neat SAF into London Heathrow.

The supply is an important step towards the airline’s target of 10% SAF by 2030.

Tom Maynard, Head of UK and Europe Sales at Virgin Atlantic, said: “We know we are not the only industry with ambitious targets and that’s why our scheme has been designed with our corporate customers at its core.”

“SAF represents the greatest opportunity for Virgin Atlantic to decarbonise in the short to medium term, but we still require cross industry and Government action to support commercialisation of SAF at scale, particularly in the UK.”
