Virgin Atlantic Launches SAF Program for Corporate Clients
U.K. long-haul airline Virgin Atlantic is the latest carrier to launch a corporate sustainable aviation fuel program allowing clients to contribute towards the cost of the fuel.
Virgin Atlantic said the SAF program would be available to corporate clients of “any size or location”
The airline said the move would allow business travel clients to “better understand their emissions” from flights through a “robust CO2 methodology,” which can be used in corporate carbon reports.
In February 2022, Virgin Atlantic announced its first supply of SAF in the U.K., with the arrival of 2.5 million litres of the sustainable fuel from supplier Neste Oyi at London Heathrow. The airline has set a target of using 10 percent SAF to power its flights by 2030.
