In India, Swarajya reported that Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu called for the promotion of sustainable practices within the aviation industry, particularly the use of sustainable aviation fuel, to reduce carbon emissions. Naidu emphasized the need to adopt green initiatives and mentioned that several airports in India have already achieved carbon-neutral status. One of the key goals Naidu outlined is the introduction of SAF into international flights departing from India. He highlighted plans to ensure that 1% of SAF is blended with jet fuel for international commercial flights by 2027, with a target to increase that blend to 2% by 2028. This aligns with the global framework set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which mandates that international flights use at least 1% SAF by 2027, according to the report.
