Turkish Airlines continues its support for the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) which play a key role in reducing carbon emissions. Starting to actively use SAF during its operations as of 2022, Turkish Airlines has emphasised the importance of the matter for the company by signing a Global SAF Declaration.
The Global SAF Declaration represents a collaboration between aviation, aerospace and fuel partners to decarbonise sustainable aviation fuel. Turkish Airlines plans to increase SAF usage to the highest levels in line with the technical, regulatory, safety and financial feasibility.
Starting to use sustainable aviation fuel for the first time in 2022 on the Istanbul Airport – Paris Charles De Gaulle route, Turkish Airlines extended this usage to Paris, Oslo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, London and Stockholm for one day of every week. Global airlines intend to increase the frequencies and destinations served with sustainable aviation fuel in the future. Also, sustainable aviation fuel records up to 87% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional kerosene fuel.
