Neste recently made its first impression in the Southeast Asia region when Bell’s next-generation five-seater helicopter, the Bell 505, powered with Neste’s flagship MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) took off at Seletar Airport in Singapore for a demonstration flight. This is the first-ever helicopter flight fueled with SAF in Southeast Asia. According to Neste, the milestone test flight was achieved by close cooperation between Bell, Safran Helicopter Engines and Neste.
Jet Aviation and Shell Aviation too played a crucial role by enabling the blended SAF to be uplifted through their facilities at Seletar Airport. With the demo flight the companies, as an integral component of the aviation industry, aim to showcase the commitment of the business aviation community towards the industry’s ambitious emissions reduction goals and adopting SAF as a key element in helping achieve these goals.
