NEWS FLASH


Croatia Airlines has operated a number of flights with a portion of low-carbon Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for the first time, ahead of a European Union law which will go into affect next year obligating aviation fuel suppliers for all fuel made available to aircraft operators at EU airports to contain a minimum share of SAF. The share of the sustainable fuel will gradually increase over the years from at least 2% next year to 70% by 2050 (6% in 2030, 20% in 2035, 34% in 2040, 42% in 2045 and to 70% in 2050). Last week, Croatia Airlines used a portion of SAF on its Airbus A319 and Dash 8 Q400 aircraft on services from Zagreb to Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, London, and Zurich, as well as on domestic flights from the Croatian capital to Dubrovnik, Split, Pula, and Zadar. Despite the benefits to the environment, airlines have warned of the cost of SAF, as well as its lack of availability on the market and many European airports. In 2022, Croatia Airlines, along with nineteen other carriers, argued that the EU’s plans for stricter rules on CO2 emissions and the use of synthetic fuel blends, as well as the implementation of a kerosene tax, would make them uncompetitive. “SAF is already much more expensive than fossil jet fuel and expectations are there won’t be enough SAF on the market, nor will it be available at all airports”, the group said at the time.

    The question is; Is SAF more expensive?

      Quite a bit more, yes. PwC estimates that flying in Europe will grow 9% more expensive due to SAF requirements

      So A220 efficiency will mean that the fuel cost will stay THE SAME as now?
      So they will be, per flight, netting exactly the same as now.

      It says in the article itself it is more expensive. OU itself complains it is more expensive. Have you read it?

      Unrelated to 2022 it says "Despite the benefits to the environment, airlines have warned of the cost of SAF, as well as its lack of availability on the market and many European airports." which is today.

    What amazing progress!!! SAF, wooooow. Meanwhile airplane windows are falling off and new engines need to be re-examined. But way to go, EU, we've got SAF. Truly remarkable.

      The EU is leading the world in the green transition, its citizens have the highest quality of life in the world, best employment rights, cleanest air and environment, highest agricultural standards, and its countries top the leagues of life expectancy worldwide.

    Despite being an avid proponent of more eco-friendly solutions, I don't really think SAF is the answer for the aviation industry. I cannot imagine that there will be sufficient space for growing plants needed for this.

    Having said all that, how can Croatia argue that they will be uncompetitive, when this will affect all other EU airlines as well? They will not be the only ones affected.
