African carriers doubt a continent-wide SAF surge as supply, cost and refuelling gaps persist

African airlines are cautious about expectations of a continent-wide sustainable aviation fuel boom, citing limited feedstock and production capacity, high prices versus conventional jet fuel, and sparse distribution and airport refuelling infrastructure — barriers that could slow regional SAF uptake and decarbonisation plans.

UK study: Visible in‑cabin sustainability boosts passenger trust, spend and loyalty A UK passenger study finds airlines can significantly increase passenger trust, onboard spend and loyalty by making sustainability initiatives visibly apparent in the cabin, from on‑board carbon information and recycling to clearer SAF messaging. The research suggests carriers are currently under‑leveraging in‑flight touchpoints that shape consumer perceptions and purchases.

Sewage-to-Jet: Airlines eye waste-derived SAF to bolster feedstock supply Airlines are exploring converting sewage and other municipal waste into sustainable aviation fuel after a process that turns waste into oil showed potential to expand feedstock supply. Carriers view 'sewage-to-jet' as a complementary route to help meet net‑zero targets while SAF availability still lags demand.

Megaconstellations' End-of-Life Reentries Create Uncertain Casualty and Environmental Risks Operators plan thousands of satellites to deorbit at end of life to limit orbital debris, but recent analyses and a Harvard Salata Institute release warn design‑for‑demise outcomes are uncertain. Partial burn‑up can leave surviving fragments and atmospheric deposits, creating ground casualty and environmental risks as constellations scale.
