Captain Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth, President of Bangkok Airways, said: “The official use of SAF on commercial flights marks a significant milestone in the airline’s transition toward a more environmentally friendly aviation future. This initiative aligns with the goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions, which lies at the heart of sustainability policies in the aviation sector. In 2024, the airline began using SAF on a pilot flight operating between Samui and Bangkok. This time, SAF will be used on commercial flights departing from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport) to international destinations including Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, in Cambodia, and Luang Prabang, Laos, and the Maldives.”
Bangkok Airways will begin using SAF blended at 1% with 99% Jet A-1 fuel, which can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of approximately 128 kg of CO2 per flight.Read the article online at: https://www.hydrocarbonengineering.com/clean-fuels/04072025/bangkok-airways-introduces-saf-on-commercial-flights/
