In the UK, Jet2.com announced that it will use a blend of sustainable aviation fuel at London Stansted Airport in 2024. The UK’s third largest airline said it has purchased approximately 650 tons of SAF from Shell Aviation, which will be used to add a 1% SAF blend onto a number of departing flights from London Stansted Airport this year. This announcement follows Jet2.com revealing just last month that it will use a blend of SAF at Bristol Airport in 2024. Across the two airports, this means that Jet2.com has purchased approximately 1,000 tons of SAF. Jet2 plc has already made an equity investment into a new SAF production plant to be constructed in the North West of England. The Fulcrum NorthPoint facility, being developed by Fulcrum BioEnergy, will operate as a Waste-to-Fuels plant, with Jet2.com set to receive more than 200 million liters of SAF once operational.
