Air bp Delivers 210 Tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel to Swedavia

Air bp delivered 210 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to the Swedish airport operator, Swedavia, at Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN/ESSA) on Tuesday.

Swedavia and its partners SOS Alarm, Systembolaget and the 2030 Secretariat procured the fuel through a joint tender, as part of an initiative to promote the large-scale production of SAF and its use as a way to reduce carbon emissions from air travel. The SAF delivered will result in a reduction in the carbon emissions generated by the business’ corporate air travel.

Air bp began collaborating with Swedavia to help reduce emissions from its corporate staff air travel in June 2019 when it supplied SAF to five of its airports in Sweden including Stockholm Arlanda, Åre Östersund, Malmö, Göteborg Landvetter and Umeå airports.

Jonas Abrahamsson, president and CEO, Swedavia, said, “Both Swedavia and the aviation industry have been strongly affected by the COVID pandemic. Despite current challenges our efforts to reduce the climate change impact in the industry must continue and be prioritized. Now is the opportunity to show our commitment to our climate ambitions which remain intact and to the Swedish aviation industry’s overall goal of all Swedish domestic flights being fossil-free in 2030 and all flights in 2045.”

The SAF supplied by Air bp was produced by Neste, one of the world’s leading producers of renewable fuels from wastes and residues.
