Japan Airlines Begins Procurement of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

Japanese airline Pegasus Airlines said it has signed an agreement with ENEOS Corporation for the purchase of SAF in Japan.

From February 4, 2025 to the end of March 2025, a certain amount of SAF derived from waste cooking oil will be blended into aviation fuel and supplied to flights from Haneda to Naha.

“We are committed to achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. As part of this commitment, we have set a goal to replace 10% of the aviation fuel we use with SAF by 2030. This is our first step in sourcing SAF and an important milestone in achieving this goal,” the airline said.

“We will continue to drive initiatives such as the introduction of lower greenhouse gas emitting aircraft and the increased use of SAF. Through our mission to provide safe, reliable and high-quality air service to all at affordable prices, we aim to contribute to the sustainable development of society and make air travel accessible to everyone.”
