The European Commission has published an updated list of competent authorities across EU Member States responsible for enforcing the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU 2023/2405). This regulation aims to ensure a level playing field for sustainable air transport by promoting the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
Structure of the Update
The document, last revised on 7 April 2025, outlines national authorities tasked with overseeing aviation fuel suppliers, aircraft operators, and airport managing bodies. It provides detailed contact information for each authority, enhancing transparency and streamlining compliance processes for stakeholders across the aviation sector.
Key Highlights
Many countries, including Austria, Germany, and Spain, have designated multiple authorities to cover specific areas such as aircraft operations and fuel supply. Notably, some Member States, like Belgium and Slovakia, are still finalising their responsible bodies for aviation fuel suppliers, indicating ongoing developments in policy execution.
Importance for Industry Stakeholders
This comprehensive list is essential for ensuring proper communication between operators and regulators. It supports smoother implementation of ReFuelEU mandates, helping operators align with sustainability goals and legal obligations efficiently.
Conclusion
The European Commission will continue to update this list to reflect changes across Member States, reinforcing the commitment to sustainable aviation across the European Union.
