Cargolux became the first airline to operate cargo flight using Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel at Luxembourg Airport. The fuel was supplied to the airport’s fuel storage using NATO’s Central European Pipeline System (CEPS) in cooperation with World Fuel Services and supported by Luxembourg Airport.
The flight from Luxembourg to Zhengzhou also marked Cargolux’ 10-year anniversary to Zhengzhou.
“This initiative marks a first for all involved, and I am proud of the smooth process we witnessed throughout from delivery to uplift. This is a milestone in Cargolux’s sustainable engagement and a significant step in our ambitious carbon reduction roadmap,” commented Richard Forson, President and Chief Executive, Cargolux. “We look forward to continuing this journey in collaboration with lux-Airport, World Fuel Services and Neste, with whom we share a common vision for a sustainable industry.”
“We are excited to supply our Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel for this celebratory Cargolux cargo flight from Luxembourg Airport in cooperation with World Fuel Services,” commented Alexander Kueper, Vice President EMEA from the Renewable Aviation business unit, Neste. “It builds on earlier deliveries of Neste’s SAF to Cargolux at Amsterdam Airport and previous deliveries of SAF to airports via the CEPS pipeline system.”
Alexander Flassak, Chief Executive, lux-Airport said: “As the home base of Cargolux, we at lux-Airport, highly appreciate Cargolux’s approach to environmental leadership for cleaner skies. We want to express our congratulations to Cargolux on the first-ever SAF flight from Luxembourg, which is a truly remarkable milestone in the country’s environmentally friendly aviation approach.”
“Through a collaborative effort with Neste and Cargolux, we have successfully transported blended SAF across multiple countries, showcasing our determination to provide reliable renewable fuel solutions,” said Duncan Storey, vice president, supply aviation Europe, World Fuel Services.
