29/06/2022 (Agence Europe) – The director general of Airlines for Europe, Thomas Reynaert, called, on Wednesday 29 June, for “policy-makers to do their part in helping to make sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) more accessible and affordable”. “We also need national governments to finally implement the Single European Sky, to avoid costly fuels being wasted on inefficient routes”, he added. These statements were made during the Connecting Europe Days, organised by the European Commission in Lyon. On this occasion, several airlines, including Air France, KLM, Lufhansa and easyJet, used a 30% increase in the proportion of SAF on board their aircraft on ten flights from Lyon, resulting in a 27% reduction in CO2 emissions per flight compared to the use of conventional fuel.
