Emirates launches SAF operations at London Heathrow Airport

Emirates Airlines started operating with SAF from Shell Aviation at London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR), the airline company announced on 15 May. Neat SAF, blended with conventional jet fuel, will supply more than 3,000t into the airport’s fuelling infrastructure network until the end of summer 2024. Emirates will use SAF to fuel some of its flights at LHR for the first time, marking the airline’s largest purchase of SAF to date. The airline is participating in LHR’s SAF Incentive Programme, which was introduced in 2022. Heathrow said in a statement that this programme guarantees the affordability and accessibility of SAF for airlines operating at the airport. <br/>
