In the UK, CITY A.M reported that Wizz Air’s UK chief, Marion Geoffroy has warned it will be a “slow process” to make sustainable aviation fuels affordable for the industry.
Geoffroy said: “It’s going to be a slow process because of course, we need to have the fuel, the SAF, available and at a cost, which… it was until recently, seven times more expensive than fossil fuels. We cannot afford that.”
Geoffroy said the biofuel was “getting cheaper as production increases” and ahead of looming mandates from the EU and UK, according to the report.
“We need to have production available at affordable costs and that’s going to take a long time until we get to new technologies,” she added.
