Volotea plans to buy up to 7.5 million liters of SAF

Spanish airline Volotea announced in April that it had reached an agreement with Total Energy to supply sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for the airline’s flights from French airports.

Volotea plans to purchase up to 7.5 million liters (nearly 2 million gallons) of SAF from Total Energy between 2025 and 2029, an amount that will enable the airline to reduce the carbon footprint of flights operating from French airports.

According to a study by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the use of pure SAF can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90 percent over its entire lifecycle compared to traditional fossil-based aviation fuels.
