16 April, 2019: Neste has entered into an agreement with Air BP to deliver sustainable aviation fuel to airline and airport customers in Sweden in 2019.
Neste and Air BP announced last year their plans to explore and develop supply chain solutions for delivering sustainable aviation fuel to airports and airlines. As a next step in their collaboration Neste will combine its expertise in the production and blending of sustainable low-carbon aviation fuel with Air BP's recognised excellence in safe, efficient and effective aviation fuel distribution solutions to jointly develop a viable supply-chain solution for sustainable aviation fuel to the Swedish market.
"I am very happy to announce that our collaboration with Air BP has taken its first concrete step, as aviation is one of our strategic growth areas," said Peter Vanacker, Neste President and CEO. "Sweden is becoming a leading country in decarbonizing aviation with its proposal to introduce a greenhouse gas reduction mandate for aviation fuel sold in Sweden. Together with Air BP we are able to support air transport in Sweden in their efforts, and this collaboration gives both of us valuable insight into developing similar supply chains to decarbonize aviation in other markets."
"I am pleased that through our collaboration with Neste we will be able to offer our Swedish customers sustainable aviation fuel at a number of airports across the country in 2019," said Jon Platt, Air BP Chief Executive Officer. "We are committed to supporting our customers, through initiatives such as this, as they work towards reducing their emissions and realising their low carbon ambitions"
