MAG to expand sustainable aviation fuel use

Malaysia Aviation Group will expand the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for its subsidiary groups between six months to one year, said MAG chief sustainability officer Philip See. He said there are several ongoing discussions at this moment to ensure that all the organisations are ready for what is a part of the company's commitment to achieve socio-economic development as well as reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. "We are still in discussion but the answer is yes. We plan to roll out our passenger and cargo flights (using SAF). "We ran a scenario test today to make sure our subsidiaries are ready for it,” he said in a press conference after launching its first passenger flight using SAF between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore in conjunction with World Environment Day at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) here. Powered by SAF, Malaysia Airlines flight MH603 successfully took off at noon.<br/>
