Cathay has expanded its Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel Programme with new partners tripling carbon emission reductions compared to last year.<\/p>\n
The airline has introduced a tiered structure for the program, which now includes 15 corporate partners across Diamond, Gold and Silver levels.<\/p>\n
Program partners have committed to using 2,650 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel in 2024, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 8,060 tonnes.<\/p>\n
Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam said the program was crucial for industry decarbonisation.<\/p>\n
“With growing support from our corporate travel and cargo customers, Cathay continues to increase SAF usage across our network worldwide,” Lam said.<\/p>\n
DB Schenker and Kuehne+Nagel have joined as Diamond partners, while EQT becomes a Gold partner and Julius Baer and Lenton Group join as Silver partners.<\/p>\n
The program has retained existing partners including Airport Authority Hong Kong, AIA, Standard Chartered Bank and Swire Pacific.<\/p>\n
Sustainable aviation fuel can reduce carbon emissions by over 80 per cent compared to conventional jet fuel, depending on technology and feedstock used.<\/p>\n
Cathay Pacific aims to use 10 per cent sustainable aviation fuel across its operations by 2030.<\/p>\n
The airline is also pursuing fleet modernisation and operational efficiency improvements to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n
The carrier has completed sustainable aviation fuel uplifts at Hong Kong International Airport and overseas locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
