Neste, a global leader in renewable fuels, and Air New Zealand have recently inked a significant deal for the supply of nine million liters of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) known as Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel. This agreement marks the largest purchase of SAF from Neste by any airline outside North America and Europe. The SAF will be delivered before the end of 2024 and is set to play a vital role in decarbonizing Air New Zealand’s operations.
This partnership builds upon an earlier SAF delivery to Air New Zealand in 2022. The SAF will be produced at Neste’s Singapore refinery, which has expanded its SAF production capabilities recently and is ramping up production. The neat SAF will be blended with conventional jet fuel and supplied to Los Angeles International Airport between 1 April and 30 November 2024.
