In Oman, Zawya reported that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of the Sultanate of Oman is currently developing policies and regulations to support the production and use of SAF in the country. Naif bin Ali al Abri, President of CAA, said: “We are at the stage of putting up a number of policies. We are putting together fuel regulations as well …Of course, this is in line with the aviation net zero strategy by 2050. We want to be a pioneer in that regard and hence we have already taken those steps and we are optimistic that Oman will be a contributor to sustainable aviation fuel in the future.” The CAA has formally created a task force to develop the sector, according to the report. “Last year we hosted the first sustainable aviation fuels forum that was attended by multinational entities including the ICAO. This is in partnership with the Minister of Energy and Minerals as well and the likes of OQ and PDO and others from the energy sector. We have also formed a task force to work on sustainable aviation fuel.“ The SAF sector has the potential to unlock various economic opportunities for the country, and can foster the growth of SMEs in the sector, al Abril added.
