ATR successfully trialing 100% SAF

February 3, 2022 |

In France, Simple Flying reports ATR has begun running test flights on 100% sustainable aviation fuel supplied by Neste. This follows the first 100% SAF flight by United Airlines last year. ATR’s turboprop regional jets already claim to have 40% lower emissions than other regional aircraft so see the switch to SAF as a natural part of the company’s and the industry’s decarbonization journey. So far a prototype aircraft has run seven hours on 100% SAF but the aim is for one of Braathens’ ATR aircraft to run on 100% SAF before year’s end.
