We're announcing a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) agreement with producer Infinium. Our airlines will take delivery of Infinium’s power-to-liquid e-SAF from late 2026. Produced from water, waste CO2 and renewable energy, e-SAF is expected to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 90% compared to today’s conventional jet fuel. We remain on track to deliver our 10% 2030 SAF goal, and agreements with innovators like Infinium are key to us reaching this target.
