This week we pivot back to the airline and customer side of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) with Jonathan Pardoe, Fuel Specialist with Star Alliance, the oldest global airline alliance starting back in 1997. Jonathan has a wealth of experience and knowledge about the fuelling challenges for airlines.

Topics discussed include:

00.48 - Background and how SAF adoption affects airline operations
06.25 - What can airlines do to mitigate the supply and demand imbalance to meet 2030 emissions targets.
10.42 - The biggest challenges for airlines accessing SAF
15.33 - the steps to narrowing the Jet A1 and SAF prices.
21.50 - Do customers have to foot the bill for SAF?
28.00 - The role of Asia in SAF supply.
32.10 - The market mis-match between the US and Europe and the Asian and Gulf markets.
36.40 - Could increased operating costs due to SAF put pressure on the small carriers?
41.10 - Can airlines streamline operations to mitigate increased SAF costs.

Make sure you catch this conversation about some of the most intriguing challenges that airlines face in the quest to decarbonise operations. SAF can only be the decarbonisation solution everyone believes it can be if the economics behind it don't put excessive strain on operating costs.
