EVA Air uses SAF for the first time

In Taiwan, local airline EVA Air took delivery of its eighth Boeing 787-10 at the Boeing factory in North Charleston, South Carolina on May 8, 2023. The new aircraft is EVA’s first Boeing 787-10 with a Star Alliance livery and it made its ferry flight with sustainable aviation fuel. EVA President Clay Sun, said: “We have always been dedicated to customer service. Part of this dedication includes integration of ESG criteria into our operations. This new 787-10 delivery gave us the opportunity to both celebrate our 10th year of membership with Star Alliance livery and use SAF on our ferry flight. These actions symbolize the close connection between EVA and Star Alliance and demonstrate EVA’s commitment to reaching Net Zero by 2050.” By using 30% SAF for the ferry flight from South Carolina, EVA reduced its carbon emissions by approximately 70,000 kilograms. The ferry flight was EVA’s first SAF operation.
