Neste to supply DHL Express with SAF at Changi Airport

Neste and DHL Express have strengthened their collaboration with the supply of 7,400 tons (9.5 million litres) of neat Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™ to DHL Express at Singapore Changi Airport starting in July.
This marks one of Asia’s largest SAF deals by volume in the air cargo sector and helps accelerate the joint effort of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from air cargo transports.
Neste will supply DHL Express with CORSIA-eligible SAF produced locally at its refinery in Singapore, the world’s largest SAF production facility, for a period of one year from July 2025 to June 2026.
The volume of SAF procured under this partnership is one of the largest purchased by DHL in Asia-Pacific and marks DHL's first direct procurement of SAF for its flights from Singapore to Asia and the Americas.
Neste will deliver the SAF blended with conventional jet fuel directly into Changi Airport’s fuel distribution facilities using the company’s integrated supply chain from the Singapore refinery.
The purchased SAF will account for approximately 35% to 40% of the overall fuel blend composition and is designated for DHL Express’ five Boeing 777 freighters based at DHL’s South Asia Hub located at Changi Airport and departing from the airport 12 times a week.
“As one of the largest users of SAF globally, DHL Express is leading the way towards more sustainable logistics and driving voluntary demand for SAF adoption. We are not just meeting industry standards but setting them,” said Christopher Ong, managing director for DHL Express Singapore.
“We are excited to expand our cooperation with DHL to Singapore, a leading aviation hub in Asia-Pacific. It leverages our SAF production and supply capabilities in Singapore, and demonstrates how we are working with DHL globally to help the company achieve its air transportation decarbonization targets using a solution that is available at scale today,” added Carl Nyberg, senior vice-president, commercial, renewable products at Neste.
