Wizz Air successfully completes SAF trial

Wizz Air, Airbus, Moeve and Charleroi Airport have announced the successful completion of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) operational trial.
During the trial, Wizz Air operated more than 50 flights using a blend of SAF and traditional jet fuel, according to the mass balancing model.
The initiative demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating SAF into regular operations and highlighted areas for future development, including infrastructure upgrades and cost optimization.
Wizz Air and its partners have demonstrated their commitment to scaling up SAF through collaborative efforts, while also highlighting the need for improved public awareness and addressing cost concerns.
Yvonne Moynihan, Corporate & ESG Officer of Wizz Air, said: “The successful completion of this trial reaffirms our commitment to flying towards sustainability.”
Julien Manhes, head of SAF and carbon dioxide removal department in Airbus, added: "Today, SAF is available in small quantities, so we need to increase the demand and supply and reduce the price gap with traditional fuel.”
