Neste, the provider of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), has set up a supply of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™ at Cologne Bonn Airport. By doing so, Neste is helping to meet increasing levels of demand from air freight and corporate customers at Cologne Bonn Airport.

AFS, Germany's provider of aviation fueling services, supports Neste in serving this market. The first flight fuelled with Neste MY SAF was a cargo flight in early June operated by ASL Airlines on behalf of Amazon.

SAF for airlines

The availability of SAF will provide global shippers the opportunity to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions

As a forerunner in sustainability, Cologne Bonn Airport is one of the first German airports where Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is available for all airlines.

Since Cologne is a central cargo hub in Germany, the availability of SAF will provide global shippers the opportunity to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions caused by their air freight. The first customer to benefit from this opportunity was Amazon.

CO2-neutral flight

We are proud to be able to offer our airlines sustainable alternative aviation fuels. We are already using numerous technical innovations at Cologne Bonn Airport from solar panels and LED technology to innovative building services and alternatively powered vehicles and equipment on the apron."

"Employing Sustainable Aviation Fuel is another important step towards our long-term goal of CO2-neutral flight," explains Johan Vanneste, President & CEO of Flughafen Köln/Bonn GmbH.

Lower-carbon fuels

Despite the challenging business environment, the aviation industry, and the cargo sector, in particular, is showing increased commitment to investing in sustainable aviation fuel to offer lower-carbon fuels to its customers,” says Jonathan Wood, Vice President of Europe, Renewable Aviation at Neste.

He adds, “We are pleased to welcome Cologne Bonn Airport to the growing network of airports with SAF availability, and look forward to making further progress in reducing aviation-related greenhouse gas emissions.”
