Japan Airlines launches new corporate SAF program

In Japan, Japan Airlines (JAL) said it will launch a new business program called “JAL Corporate SAF Program” from April 2024, which certifies the environmental value of CO2 reduction achieved through the use of SAF and provides it to corporate customers in Japan using JAL flights. Through this program, JAL will calculate and manage the amount of CO2 reduction data based on SAF certificates that indicate the CO2 reduction rate achieved by using SAF. These CO2 reduction certificates will be issued and sold to corporate customers who require the environmental value. “Participation in this program enables corporate customers the visualization and reduction of CO2 emissions based on air travel usage for cargo transportation and employee business trips. Additionally, these certificates can be used for disclosing and calculating CO2 emission reduction information required by TCFD, CDP, and similar organizations,” the airline said. “By joining this program, corporate customers can contribute to sustainable air travel through the promotion and expansion of SAF, aimed at decarbonizing the aviation industry,” JAL added.
