In Spain, Spanish oil firm Repsol said it has begun supplying sustainable aviation fuel to Atlas Air for the cargo flights that this company carries out for Inditex from Zaragoza airport. Since the beginning of November, Atlas Air uses 5% SAF on all its flights, Repsl said. The agreement makes New York-based Atlas Air the first cargo airline to use SAF regularly on its cargo flights in Spain, the oil firm added. “With this agreement we take another step in the decarbonization of aviation. We show that the SAF is the future, but also the present. With the upcoming launch of our new advanced biofuels plant in Cartagena, we are ready to supply the sector with the SAF it needs to make its decarbonization ambitions a reality,” said Óliver Fernández, Director of International Aviation at Repsol.
