Kuehne+Nagel to supply 11 million litres of SAF to US airline
Kuehne+Nagel and American Airlines have entered into an agreement to deploy more than 11 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The SAF will enable a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner passenger aircraft to fly 25 times carbon neutral around the world or transport 13 million kg of cargo from London to Dallas on a Boeing 777F cargo aircraft.
Kuehne+Nagel is proactively advancing its sustainable and scalable solutions to decarbonise air freight shipments.
Yngve Ruud, member of the management board of Kuehne+Nagel, responsible for air logistics, said: “The demand for environmentally friendly air logistics services is certainly on the rise.
“Through the innovative collaboration with American Airlines, we commit to support our customers' sustainability ambitions and contribute to the development and widespread use of alternative aviation fuels. We encourage all the industry stakeholders to join us in bringing carbon neutral flying one step closer.
“Partnering with Kuehne+Nagel as part of our effort to reduce the impact of aviation on our planet has been an incredible example of the kind of collaboration that will drive real change,” added Jessica Tyler, president of American Airlines cargo and vice president of operations innovation and delivery.
“This strategic, market-based solution will help create a cleaner supply chain and is aimed at accelerating our transition to a low-carbon future.”
The result of SAF use is a significantly reduced amount of additional carbon introduced into the global carbon cycle of at least 75%.
