On July 1, Bangkok Airways announced the continued expansion of its “Fly Net Zero with Bangkok Airways” initiative by formally incorporating Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into more of its commercial flights, aiming to significantly reduce carbon emissions from its operations.
Since 2024, the airline has been conducting SAF trial flights on the Samui–Bangkok route. It is now scaling up the program to include international routes departing from Suvarnabhumi Airport to destinations such as Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Luang Prabang, and the Maldives.
The SAF used in these flights is a 1% SAF and 99% Jet A-1 blend. Each flight using this fuel mix is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 128 kilograms, demonstrating Bangkok Airways’ commitment to environmental sustainability and emission reduction.
