Air France-KLM Signs Its 1st SAF Agreement With A UK Airport

Air France-KLM has partnered with Teesside Airport, giving it additional access to SAF.

Air France-KLM has just announced that Teesside International Airport (MME) will be the first airport in the UK to join the Air France-KLM Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) program. The partnership marks a significant milestone in the SAF program as it brings the program into a new market. This latest addition to the partnership is part of the airline's plans to expand the use of SAF across its operations to reduce CO2 emissions.

The partnership with MME will enable Air France-KLM to access SAF at MME, giving the Air France and KLM planes another access point to more sustainable fuel. While the transition from conventional fuel to SAF will take some time, it marks an essential milestone in the decarbonization of air transportation. Because MME will switch to using SAF fuel, the carbon footprint produced by Air France-KLM will be dramatically reduced on flights departing MME.
