Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc airport, operated by VINCI Airports, has taken a new step in its environmental strategy by providing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) thanks to a new fuelling contract with TotalEnergies.
This initiative is in line with the commitment made to the Haute-Savoie department when it took over operation of the infrastructure in 2022, aiming to decarbonise the activities of the airport and those of its partners.
SAF represents a concrete and immediate alternative to fossil fuels. The SAF supplied to Annecy is produced in Europe by TotalEnergies from waste and residues resulting from the circular economy, such as used cooking oil, then blended up to 35% with conventional aviation fuel.
This approach is fully in line with VINCI Airports' desire to reduce the CO2 emissions of its users and partners (scope 3) and to promote the decarbonisation of aviation.
Seven other airports in the VINCI Airports network already offer this type of fuel.
A spectacular world-first flypast using a combination of more environmentally-friendly fuels has been performed by the @Red_Arrows over London for King Charles.
