Vietjet partners with Petrolimex to use SAF

Vietjet has pioneered using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced by Petrolimex Aviation in Vietnam on its flights.
The signing ceremony of the cooperation agreement between Vietjet and Petrolimex Aviation took place today in Ho Chi Minh City.
For the first time in Vietnam, Petrolimex Aviation has blended and provided the first 1,200 m³ of SAF for Vietjet flights, marking an important milestone in the production and use of sustainable aviation fuel in Vietnam.
Petrolimex Aviation also provided the Proof of Sustainability (PoS) in accordance with the ISCC EU standard, ensuring the fuel meets stringent international sustainability and CO₂ emission reduction standards.
Uong Viet Dung - director general of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority remarked: “The launch of SAF is not only commercially significant but also strategically important, laying the foundation for a sustainable domestic SAF supply chain, meeting international market requirements, and encouraging cooperation among airlines, fuel suppliers, regulatory agencies, and financial institutions to expand SAF usage in Vietnam.”
Phạm Văn Thanh, chairman of Petrolimex, stated: “Petrolimex has proactively invested in research and mastered the technology to blend SAF at the Nha Be Oil Depot. We are also the first company in Vietnam to import SBC – hydrocarbons synthesized from biologically renewable materials for SAF production.
“This success demonstrates the Group’s strong commitment to the green transition, supporting the government, airlines, and society at large in driving sustainable development.”
