Qantas, the national carrier has signed an agreement with strategic partner Air bp to purchase 10 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in 2022 with an option to purchase up to another 10 million litres in 2023 and 2024 for flights from Heathrow Airport. This represents up to 15 per cent of Qantas’ annual fuel use out of London.
Qantas will purchase blended SAF from next month with an aim to reduce its carbon emissions by around 10 per cent for its flights from London.
