Neste enables Vietnam Airlines’ first flight using SAF

In Finland, Neste said that Vietnam Airlines has operated its first flight using Neste MY sustainable aviation fuel. 

A Vietnam Airlines Airbus A321 was refueled with blended sustainable aviation fuel at Changi Airport in Singapore for its return flight to Hanoi, Vietnam on May 27, 2024, Neste said.

Neste produced the SAF at its Singapore refinery and after blending the SAF with conventional jet fuel, the fuel blend was supplied to Vietnam Airlines using Neste’s integrated supply chain into the Changi Airport.

“Vietnam Airlines believes that the use of SAF will help create a more sustainable future for the aviation industry, providing passengers with both excellent service quality and environmental friendliness. We are collaborating with our partners in the supply chain to expand the use of SAF in the future, thereby contributing to the successful achievement of goals related to net-zero emissions and climate change prevention,” said Nguyen Chien Thang, Executive Vice President of Vietnam Airlines.
