In California, Mexican low-cost airline Viva Aerobus said it had completed its first flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel from Los Angeles to Guadalajara on June 15.
Viva said it aims to purchase 1 million liters of SAF. In order to reach this goal, Avfuel and Neste are collaborating with Viva on a potential long-term SAF supply agreement.
“We are excited to take this big step in Mexico’s aviation history aimed at reducing GHG emissions. We keep strengthening as the greenest Mexican airline, having the lowest number of CO2 emissions per passenger in the country. We are always looking for new ways to add value to our service, not only through low fares and reliability, but also by creating an airline industry focused on sustainability. When using SAF, for instance, we contribute directly and indirectly to 10 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda,” said Juan Carlos Zuazua, CEO of Viva Aerobus.
