Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) said it is “embarking on a pioneering new partnership” with Gstaad Palace, a Swiss luxury hotel.

The deal means the hotel will procure sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) “for all its business travel on SWISS”, the airline said.

“The Gstaad Palace and SWISS are reputed premium brands that are both committed not only to top-quality service but to sustainability, too,” said the carrier’s chief executive, Dieter Vranckx.

“Ever since our hotel was established back in 1913, the Gstaad Palace has been keenly aware of its responsibilities in the sustainability field,” claimed Andrea Scherz, general manager of the Gstaad Palace.

“By taking advantage of new technologies such as SAF, we can offer our own concrete contribution to making travel easier on the environment,” Scherz added.
