Virgin Atlantic has announced the purchase of 10 million US gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per annum to be produced by Gevo and supplied by Virgin Atlantic’s joint venture partner, Delta Air Lines.

After fleet transformation, SAF at scale represents an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions in the next decade. This new SAF agreement with Delta represents 20 per cent of Virgin Atlantic’s 2030 SAF target and is equivalent to fuelling more than 500 flights across the transatlantic from Los Angeles.

Global SAF production today represents less than 0.1 per cent of jet fuel.
