The first Etihad Airways flight to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supplied by ITOCHU Corporation and Neste took off from Tokyo Narita airport.
“The pioneering flight, EY871, departed Tokyo Narita at 1500, was the result of a partnership in which ITOCHU provided Neste MY SAF to Etihad, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, making Etihad the first international airline to procure SAF in Japan,” says a release from Etihad.
Cassie Mackie, Vice President Procurement & Supply Chain, Etihad Airways, says: “The aviation industry needs partnerships like the one we have created with ITOCHU and NESTE to bring widespread SAF adoption to the industry. We are extremely proud to be the first international airline to procure and use Japanese supplied SAF on flights departing Japan and to see this partnership take to the air.
