JAL to Use Sustainable Aviation Fuel on San
Francisco - Haneda Flights
|
Japan Airlines has unveiled plans to operate
select flights, by the end of January 2019, from San Francisco to
Tokyo (Haneda) with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) supplied by
Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K.
In the past decade, JAL has taken a
number of proactive steps to support the development of SAF
technology. In January 2009, the carrier operated a test flight
in Japan with SAF using a mixture of three second-generation
biofuel feedstocks and in November 2017, the airline operated a
passenger flight with SAF from Chicago to Tokyo (Narita). In 2020,
JAL plans to operate a charter flight with SAF made from recycled
clothes.
In order to realize the daily operation of an
aircraft utilizing SAF technology, JAL says it will continue to invest in
the use of SAF and fulfill the targets outlined in the company`s
Medium Term Management Plan - to actively contribute and tackle
Global Sustainable Development Goals, including the reduction of
CO2 emissions.
