Singapore Airlines (SIA) has joined the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group (SAFUG) – a collective organisation that aims to accelerate the development and commercialisation of renewable aviation fuels, derived from sustainable sources.
“We are pleased to be the newest member of SAFUG. This is in line with our longstanding commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving the efficiency of our operations,” said Ng Chin Hwee, SIA’s Executive Vice-President Human Resources & Operations.
“It will take time to research and develop alternative fuels that meet the stringent safety requirements of civil aviation and at the same time are commercially viable. But through SAFUG, which brings together both airlines and aircraft manufacturers, we hope to be one step closer,” he added.
SIA has already conducted several so-called ‘green flights’ under the Asia and Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions (ASPIRE) programme. These flights use operational techniques to boost efficiency and reduce fuel burn.
