The European Commission has released the updated list of Union Airports in-scope of ReFuelEU Aviation for the 2025 reporting period. The list, published on January 27, 2025, highlights airports across the European Union mandated to comply with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) regulations under Articles 2.4 and 3.1 of ReFuelEU Aviation.

Key Features of the Update
- Widespread Geographic Representation:
Airports from 27 Member States, including major hubs like Vienna Schwechat (Austria), Frankfurt Main (Germany), and Madrid Barajas (Spain), reflect the initiative’s broad scope to ensure SAF adoption across high-traffic zones. - Highlighted Responsibilities:
Airport managing bodies are tasked with independently assessing their compliance obligations. Airports not explicitly listed should verify their inclusion, as the scope is determined based on updated traffic and passenger data. - Driving Green Innovation:
The inclusion of Union airports signifies the EU’s commitment to integrating SAF into the aviation sector, reducing emissions and aligning with the European Green Deal’s objectives.
This update reaffirms the EU’s dedication to fostering accountability and transparency within the aviation industry while championing environmentally sustainable operations. For detailed insights and the full list of airports, stakeholders are encouraged to consult the official publication.
