South African Air launches biofuel program
Almasalla Travel News -Boeing and South African Airways (SAA) have recently announced that they will work together to develop and implement a sustainable aviation biofuel supply chain in southern Africa, a first for the continent. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding for sustainable aviation biofuel supply chain development at the Corporate Council on Africa’s Ninth Biennial U.S.-Africa Business Summit.
“SAA is taking the lead in Africa on sustainable aviation fuels and, by setting a best-practice example, can positively shape aviation biofuel efforts in the region,” said Ian Cruickshank, SAA head of Group Environmental Affairs.
Julie Felgar, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ managing director of environmental strategy and integration, added: “Sustainable aviation biofuel will play a central role in reducing commercial aviation’s carbon emissions over the long term, and we see tremendous potential for these fuels in Africa.”
