Alaska Airlines has signed an agreement with Shell Aviation to purchase up to 10 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel for use at Los Angeles International Airport, the carrier announced Thursday.
The carrier noted that the deal goes beyond the SAF purchase and includes commitments to “deepen understanding” of the technology, infrastructure, carbon accounting systems and public policy support needed to bring SAF to more markets, in greater quantities and at a more sustainable long-term cost. The companies will focus on increasing supply to the West Coast and solving fueling infrastructure challenges in the Pacific Northwest.
