IATA Urges EU to Adopt Policies to Encourage SAF Production

The International Air transport Association (IATA) is calling on the EU to develop a regulatory framework to encourage more production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). However, the airline group is not in favor for any government body—including the European Commission—imposing a mandate on airlines to blend lower-carbon SAF with fossil jet-A.

“Our hub feed and de-feed is in Europe, and the feed and de-feed of our competitors takes place outside Europe,” IATA chairman and Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr told AIN. “If you add costs, you have to make sure you get compensated, otherwise you further disadvantage European airlines and jobs. We have seen the same issue with the EU emissions trading system.”
