The recent release of the Policy Whitepaper on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Strategy for Hong Kong marks a pivotal step in advancing the region’s sustainable aviation goals. This whitepaper, spearheaded by the Hong Kong Sustainable Aviation Fuel Coalition (HKSAFC) under the Business Environmental Council, outlines a roadmap for integrating SAF […]

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has set an ambitious roadmap for the next quarter-century with the launch of its 2026-2050 Strategic Plan. The plan aligns with a forward-thinking vision of increased connectivity, innovation, and environmental stewardship in global aviation. Celebrating its 80 years of leadership, ICAO is spearheading transformation

The UK government has taken another step toward aviation decarbonization by launching a public consultation on implementing the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). Overseen by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), CORSIA aims to curb emissions from international aviation by requiring airlines to offset carbon through

The aviation industry is steadily navigating its way toward sustainability, and Air New Zealand has taken a decisive leap forward. By securing its largest-ever purchase of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)—30 million litres to be uplifted from Los Angeles and San Francisco through February 2026—the airline has reinforced its commitment to

The European Commission’s adoption of the Flight Emissions Label (FEL) marks a major step toward decarbonizing aviation. This groundbreaking initiative offers air passengers clear, trustworthy information about the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of their flights, enabling them to make informed decisions while promoting greater transparency across the aviation sector. Developed

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has taken centre stage in the global push to decarbonize the aviation industry, with the UK positioning itself as a key player through innovative policies and funding mechanisms. The SAF Order 2024, coupled with initiatives like the Advanced Fuel Fund, has created a robust regulatory and

The air cargo industry plays a vital role in global commerce, ensuring the rapid delivery of essential goods like life-saving medicines, vaccines, and consumer products. However, this efficiency comes at an environmental cost. With projections showing a 70% increase in the global freighter fleet over the next two decades and

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has revealed that Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production reached 1 million tonnes (1.3 billion litres) in 2024, doubling from 2023’s output of 0.5 million tonnes. Despite this impressive growth, SAF still represents only 0.3% of global jet fuel production, underscoring the need for accelerated

Aviation is undergoing a transformative shift as the sector races toward ambitious decarbonization goals. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), battery-electric technology, and innovative aircraft designs are leading the charge to reduce emissions across the industry. While challenges remain, the opportunities presented by these advancements are paving the way for a more

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) recently released its inaugural “State of the EU SAF Market in 2023” report, marking a significant step forward in decarbonizing aviation. This landmark report sheds light on the progress, potential, and challenges of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) as the EU sets ambitious climate

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has taken a significant step forward in its mission to decarbonize aviation by publishing the “State of the EU SAF Market in 2023” report. This landmark document highlights the progress and potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in transforming the aviation industry while

Sofia International Airport (SOF), Bulgaria’s premier air gateway, is embarking on an ambitious transformation aimed at doubling its capacity and redefining its role as a regional aviation leader. Spearheaded by SOF Connect and supported by key international stakeholders, this project not only signals a bold vision for growth but also

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recently released the CORSIA Annual Sector’s Growth Factor (SGF) for 2023. This update marks a pivotal step in reducing aviation’s carbon footprint globally. This update, included in the latest ICAO document published in October 2024, sheds light on the annual emissions reductions required from

The aviation industry is steadfast in its commitment to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. As one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize due to its reliance on energy-dense fuels, the journey towards sustainability relies heavily on the production and adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). While the path

The urgency to address climate change has amplified the need for transformative actions in every sector, including aviation, which contributes significantly to global carbon emissions. At the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable aviation during
