Cargolux is the first airline to use sustainable aviation fuel at Luxembourg Airport with the supply of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
Luxembourg Airport witnessed a historic milestone as Cargolux became the first airline to utilize sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) uplifted at the airport. This momentous occasion took place during a celebratory cargo flight, made possible by the supply of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel through NATO’s Central European Pipeline System (CEPS), in collaboration with World Fuel Services and with the support of Luxembourg Airport.
“This initiative marks a first for all involved, and I am proud of the smooth process we witnessed throughout from delivery to uplift. This is a milestone in Cargolux’s sustainable engagement and a significant step in our ambitious carbon reduction roadmap. We look forward to continuing this journey in collaboration with lux-Airport, World Fuel Services and Neste, with whom we share a common vision for a sustainable industry,” said Richard Forson, Cargolux President & CEO.
Cargolux opted to utilize Neste’s SAF for a special cargo flight from Luxembourg to Zhengzhou, the airline’s largest hub in mainland China. This flight commemorated the forthcoming 10-year anniversary since Cargolux initiated its services to Zhengzhou in 2014.
“We are excited to supply our Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel for this celebratory Cargolux cargo flight from Luxembourg Airport in cooperation with World Fuel Services. It is a great example of collaboration with partners across aviation’s value chain to make SAF available. It builds on earlier deliveries of Neste’s SAF to Cargolux at Amsterdam Airport and previous deliveries of SAF to airports via the CEPS pipeline system. It also highlights the importance of joint efforts in making more sustainable fuel options available at airports,” said Alexander Kueper, Vice President EMEA from the Renewable Aviation business unit at Neste.
