Air New Zealand highlights potential key role of Malaysia in SAF production

March 27, 2024 |

In Malaysia, The Sun reported that Malaysia has the potential to become a leading supplier of feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel in the Asia Pacific region, given its diverse range of feedstock and biomass available in the country, according to Air New Zealand. The airline’s chief sustainability officer Kiri Hannifin said that Air New Zealand stands as an ideal partner for SAF innovators and producers in Malaysia. “We have a mature understanding of SAF, a clear roadmap to meet our targets, and the volumes of SAF we need align with current production capabilities. We already have some great relationships with several SAF producers. However, due to the scale of the challenge, there is a broader opportunity for new SAF supply partnerships,” the executive said. According to the report, the airline has launched a global open invitation to innovators and start-ups in the SAF sector, including those in Malaysia, to become its supply partner.
