In January 2025, Mabanaft started the supply of jet fuel and a HEFA SPK Blend (so called sustainable aviation fuel, hereinafter referred to as SAF, reducing CO2 emissions up to 80% over its life cycle) to airlines at Frankfurt Airport.
This step marks an expansion into the German aviation market for the company, adding a further airport location to the ones already being supplied across the UK and in Norway.
Since the beginning of 2025, Mabanaft has worked closely with its partner Skytanking to ensure safe and timely operations for its customers at Frankfurt Airport. Key milestones so far in 2025 include the start-up with Singapore Airlines and the Lufthansa Group as customers.
“These partnerships underscore our commitment to help enhancing the aviation supply chains in Germany as well as across Europe. Through our well-placed network of storage locations across the country we are in a good position to ensure reliable supply”, said Simon Weiss, Head of Aviation at Mabanaft. “We look forward to continuing our work in the aviation sector, ensuring that we fuel both today’s and tomorrow's journeys by working hand in hand with our customers and partners,” he added.
Mabanaft will deliver over 1000 t of SAF at Frankfurt Airport under the European SAF Mandate in 2025, underscoring one of the ways the company is committed to fostering a more sustainable future for aviation by providing alternatives to conventional aviation fuels.
Mabanaft offers its customers a broad and flexible range of products, serving the conventional market, while at the same time playing an active role in providing a route to market for low-carbon fuel solutions. The primary focus is on growing the business, especially in hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation, by leveraging its core strengths of sourcing, storing, handling, and distributing liquid fuels.
