Cathay Pacific is launching a pilot Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Programme - the first major programme of its kind in Asia. The programme provides corporate customers with an opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint from business travel or airfreight by contributing to the use of SAF, which will be uplifted for the first time from Hong Kong International Airport on Cathay Pacific flights.
Cathay Pacific has launched the programme in partnership with eight corporate customers, including AIA, Airport Authority Hong Kong, DHL Global Forwarding, HSBC, Kintetsu World Express, PwC China, Standard Chartered, and Swire Pacific. As leaders in corporate climate action, these launch customers are committed to reducing the climate impact from their business travel and/or airfreight activities by helping to facilitate the wider adoption of renewable energy by the air transport industry through the use of SAF. The SAF used for the launch of the programme is made from used cooking oil and animal fat waste made available by pilot fuel suppliers PetroChina and Shell.
