“ We spent quite a lot of time making sure that the different recipes of SAF could be used on our platforms – not only commercial aircraft, but also military aircraft and helicopters.”
Today, technical standards exist to ensure that SAF blends meet the stringent safety and performance requirements of aviation.
“ Now there are technical standards that SAF producers can refer to, to ensure that what they produce, when it’ s mixed with kerosene, is fulfilling the technical standards required to fly safely,” Julien explains.
About Airbus Airbus is more than just an aircraft manufacturer. With a global workforce and a history of innovation, it has taken a proactive role in the SAF ecosystem.
“ We have a lot of partnerships with a lot of different producers simply because we want to support the emergence of SAF at scale,” says Julien. These partnerships span established energy giants like TotalEnergies and Neste, as well as agile startups pioneering new feedstocks and production methods.
Airbus’ s approach is holistic, supporting the supply and demand sides of the SAF equation.
