Partners in Cathay Pacific’s Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel program have committed to using 2,650 metric tons—about 906,000 U.S. gallons—of SAF in 2024, the carrier announced Monday, adding such use is equivalent to a reduction of about 8,060 metric tons of carbon emissions, three times the reduction achieved last year.
The program, initially launched in 2022, also has introduced a tiered structure, “allowing customers to participate based on their SAF demand and business needs.” DB Schenker, the biggest contributor to the program to date, according to Cathay, and Kuehne+Nagel have joined at Diamond partners, EQT joined as a Gold partner, and Julius Baer and Lenton Group joined as Silver partners, bringing the total participants to 15 this year.
Continuing partners include the Airport Authority Hong Kong, AIA, Dimerco Express Group, Kintetsu World Express, Standard Chartered Bank, Swire Pacific, Yusen Logistics and the Business Environment Council, according to Cathay.
