In the UK, London Biggin Hill Airport announced the first flight of the London Heli Shuttle, operated by Castle Air, using a 10% SAF blend. The dedicated business aviation airport was the first in London to offer Air bp’s low carbon renewable fuel. Robert Walters, commercial director, London Biggin Hill Airport, said: “With over two years of successful SAF integration at Biggin Hill Airport, I am thrilled we can now use SAF to power London Heli Shuttle flights destined for Battersea.” “This milestone not only enables our customers to enjoy a swift six-minute journey but also underscores our commitment to sustainable aviation practices. By incorporating SAF, we’re actively contributing to the industry’s broader sustainability initiatives and working towards our goal of becoming a carbon neutral airport by 2029, while enabling our customers and resident businesses to meet their own sustainability goals,” he added.
