In Finland, Neste said it has signed an agreement with Singapore Airlines for the purchase of 1,000 tons of neat Neste MY sustainable aviation fuel. This will make Singapore Airlines and Scoot, the two airlines in the Group, the first carriers to receive sustainable aviation fuel, produced at Neste’s refinery in Singapore. Neste will blend the SAF with conventional jet fuel according to the required safety specifications, and deliver the blended jet fuel to Changi Airport’s fuel hydrant system in two batches – once in the second quarter of 2024 and once in the fourth quarter of this year, the airline said. “This agreement with Neste is an important milestone in the SIA Group’s journey to have a minimum of 5% sustainable aviation fuel in our total fuel uplift by 2030. Close collaboration with our partners and stakeholders, both in Singapore and globally, plays a critical role in our long-term decarbonization goals. A more sustainable aviation industry will ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the global connectivity, economic prosperity, and people links that air travel fosters,” said Lee Wen Fen, Chief Sustainability Officer, Singapore Airlines.
