In the UK, Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the SATS Group, is starting a three-month trial using HVO biofuel in its airside transport fleet at London’s Heathrow Airport in support of SATS’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) group priorities and Heathrow’s goal for all airport vehicles to be zero-emission or using biofuels by 2030.
Commencing on July 1, 2024, the trial initially involves two of WFS’s airside transport vehicles. Based on the successful outcome of the trial, WFS will begin increasing the use of biofuel across its fleet of 77 airside vehicles, which conduct approximately 130,000 truck movements a year at Heathrow in support of 10 airline customers.
The biofuel provider for the trial is Airport Energy, part of WP Group.
