IATA Calls for Review of UK and EU Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandates
SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL
IATA Director General Willie Walsh has called for a review of the UK and EU sustainable aviation fuel mandates, citing inflated prices and inadequate supply that make the UK's 10% SAF target by 2030 unattainable. With global SAF production projected to reach only 2.4 million tonnes by 2026—about 0.6% of total jet fuel consumption—concerns are growing over potential jet fuel shortages at European airports, exacerbated by stalled renewable fuel projects and low profit margins for SAF investments.
