EBAA backs SAF book-and-claim push that could extend eligibility to non-EU airports The African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA/EBAA) praised an “encouraging direction” in ongoing lobbying efforts around SAF book-and-claim, saying it could broaden the scheme’s coverage beyond EU airports. The development is positioned as a potential unlock for business aviation sustainability accounting and compliance planning.

IATA flags sluggish SAF scale-up: production volumes remain disappointing five years after 2050 net-zero pledge Five years after IATA member airlines committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the industry is still seeing only slow increases in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) output. IATA says SAF production—the key enabling input—has not yet matched the momentum implied by the net-zero pathway.

IATA: SAF output remains <1% of jet fuel use, underscoring supply-scale gap IATA says global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production volumes are still below 1% of total jet fuel consumption. The shortfall highlights the persistent gap between SAF scale-up plans and actual market availability—making decarbonization progress dependent on faster supply expansion and demand pull.
