The Philippines Department of Transportation welcomed Oct. 3 the support of aerospace company Airbus in the development of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) ecosystem through the Philippine SAF Feasibility Study.

In a statement, Roberto Lim, the department’s undersecretary for aviation and airports, said the study will help develop relevant policies, regulations and programs to advance economically viable SAF production in the Philippines.
