In Canada, WestJet announced that it has purchased the first sustainable aviation fuel supplied in Canada by Shell Aviation. “WestJet is committed to enhancing our position as a first mover in sustainability technologies. Just as we pioneered advancements in Winglets and drag reduction, WestJet proudly stands as the first airline to acquire SAF by Shell in Canada,” said Angela Avery, WestJet Group Executive Vice President and Chief People, Corporate and Sustainability Officer. To supply WestJet with SAF, Shell Aviation uses a program called Avelia, which is one of the world’s first blockchain-powered digital SAF book-and-claim solutions for air travel. Avelia uses blockchain to provide clear and transparent tracking of the environmental attributes of SAF delivered into the aviation fueling network.
