The UN Climate Change Conference is being held in Glasgow.

Since many years Skyline Express is conscious of its responsibility for our planet and consequently supports  sustainable and ecological driven projects. Logically Skyline Express is the first air freight forwarder who joined the partnership with Air France/KLM´s Corporate SAF Program.

 

What is SAF?

SAF steht für „Sustainable Aviation Fuel” und ist derzeit die einzige umweltfreundliche Alternative zu konventionellem Flugzeugtreibstoff. Der Flugverkehr erzeugt heute 2-3% der globalen CO2 Emissionen. Der Einsatz von SAF reduziert diese um bis zu 85% im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Treibstoffen! SAF zertifizierte Treibstoffe müssen strengen Kriterien genügen. So dürfen Sie keinen negativen Effekt auf die Artenvielfalt haben oder Grundstoffe verwenden, die zur Nahrungsmittelproduktion geeignet wären. Aufgrund der derzeit noch geringen Produktionskapazitäten liegt der Preis um Faktor 3 über den herkömmlichen Treibstoffen. KLM und Air France sind dabei neue Produktionsstätten in Eigenregie bis 2023 fertig zu stellen.

Das Ziel der Airlines zusammen mit Partnern wie Skyline Express, deren Kunden und der globalen Öffentlichkeit ist es, die Aufmerksamkeit und Verbreitung dieser nachhaltigen Treibstoff-Alternative zu erhöhen. Unterstützen Sie uns aktiv dabei für unser aller gemeinsame Zukunft!

What is SAF?

SAF stands for “Sustainable Aviation Fuel” and is a cleaner substitute for conventional jet fuel. This alternative fuel represents a solution that has been developed to reduce the impact of aviation on the environment. The aviation sector currently accounts for 2 to 3% of global CO2 emissions produced by human activity. SAF represents an alternative fuel for aviation and is currently the only viable drop-in alternative to fossil liquid fuels for powering commercial aircraft. SAF reduces CO2 emissions by up to 85%, when compared to conventional jet fuel! SAF must meet stringent sustainability criteria to qualify as “sustainable” aviation fuel: substantial reduction in CO2 emissions, materials whose use would not have a negative impact on biodiversity or be in competition with needed food production. Due to low production capacities SAF currently costs two to three times as much as fossil fuel. KLM and Air France are building a fully SAF-dedicated plant to produce its own SAF, scheduled to open in 2023. Objective of the Airlines today is to raise awareness within their partners like Skyline Express, customers and towards the general public as well, to increase the use of SAF through our daily operations.

We hope for your active support for our joined future!
