Aberdeen International Airport announces first supply of SAF
In Scotland, Aberdeen International Airport said it has received the first commercial delivery of sustainable aviation fuel.
The SAF was delivered by Air bp and will be blended with traditional jet fuel for Bristow flights to bp’s North Sea offshore operations in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
Mark Beveridge, Operations Director at Aberdeen International Airport, said: “It is recognized globally that SAF will play a major role in making jet zero aviation a reality and SAF has the potential to significantly reduce UK aviation emissions. bp’s decision to make SAF commercially available at Aberdeen is a significant moment.
“There is a real opportunity for Aberdeen to help drive a domestic SAF industry here in the UK and in doing so, we can support the decarbonization of the oil and gas sector transport,” he added.
In 2021, Bristow, bp’s helicopter operator of its North Sea flights, completed one of the first SAF-powered flights in the UKCS flying an S-92 helicopter from Aberdeen International Airport to installations operated by bp.
