Airbus aims to ink SAF partnerships in India
In India, Mint reported that Airbus said it is open to entering into partnerships with Indian companies for production of sustainable aviation fuel as the company aims to support the green fuel ecosystem in India. “In Australia, we decided to co-invest with Qantas in a project to produce sustainable aviation fuel…We are looking for such partnerships in India. We want to work with the magic triangle of airlines, producers and the government. We are looking at such memorandums of understanding in India,” Airbus head of sustainable aviation fuel and fuel efficiency, Julien Manhes, said. In India, the civil aviation ministry is developing a strategy for the adoption of SAF by Indian airlines, with recommendations expected to be provided from 2027. India had earlier considered mandating blended SAF use by airlines from 2025, beginning with 1% green fuel and increasing to 5% by 2030, according to the report.
