American Airlines inks SAF agreement with Gevo
In Texas, American Airlines announced it has finalized an agreement with biofuel company Gevo, for the provision of sustainable aviation fuel.
Over five years, American has committed to purchasing 500 million gallons of SAF.
“Today’s announcement is a historic step forward for American and our industry as we work to reduce our carbon footprint,” said Jill Blickstein, American’s Vice President of Sustainability. “The use of SAF is a cornerstone of our strategy to decarbonize air travel,” the executive added.
The agreement brings American Airlines’ total low-carbon fuel commitments to more than 620 million gallons — fulfilling roughly 20% of the airline’s goal to replace 10% of jet fuel usage with SAF by 2030. The SAF deliveries are expected to begin in 2026 from future commercial operations of Gevo.
