In Korea, The Korea Times reported that Korean Air recently signed a partnership agreement with France’s CEVA Logistics to use sustainable aviation fuel for its cargo transportation business. Under the agreement, CEVA will support Korean Air’s usage of SAF in its air cargo operations. The Korean airline will share the result of its reduction in carbon emissions with the French logistics firm. Both companies also plan to promote their usage of SAF and raise awareness about reducing carbon emissions in the logistics sector, according to the report. In February 2022, Korean Air became the first Korean flag carrier to use SAF, with its implementation on its scheduled Paris-Seoul Incheon route. The airline also signed a memorandum of understanding with Shell in September 2022 to purchase SAF at major airports in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East from 2026 to 2031, the report added.
