Heathrow says 2025 flight emissions 7% below 2019, points to SAF progress to bolster third‑runway case

Heathrow's 2025 sustainability report shows flight carbon emissions were 7% below 2019 levels. The airport attributes the reduction to progress on sustainable aviation fuel and other measures, using the results to reinforce its argument that a proposed third runway can align with net‑zero goals.

Europe's first eSAF plant and Siemens–CAPHENIA tie-up test bankability of power‑to‑liquid SAF On the outskirts of Frankfurt, Europe’s first eSAF plant is converting captured CO2 and green hydrogen into synthetic jet fuel, while Siemens has partnered with cleantech CAPHENIA to accelerate scale‑up. The move spotlights whether power‑to‑liquid SAF can reach bankability and volumes to meet EU mandates.

Norwegian to run Europe’s first state‑supported domestic route on 40% SAF Norwegian will operate the Aalborg–Copenhagen domestic route throughout 2026 and 2027 using a permanent 40% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blend under a state-supported scheme — the first state-backed domestic SAF service in Europe. The commitment applies to all flights on the route for the two-year period.

Airbus pins A320 production cut on Pratt & Whitney GTF delivery delays; flags slow SAF progress Airbus told investors that Pratt & Whitney's delayed GTF engine deliveries forced it to lower its A320 production-rate target, identifying engine supply as the key bottleneck. The company also warned that slow progress on sustainable aviation fuel adoption adds pressure to ramping output and meeting deliveries.

Europe's 2030 eSAF Mandate Faces Supply Risk as Synthetic Jet Fuel Plants Lag The EU's sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) mandate requires synthetic jet fuel inclusion from 2030, but with no commercial eSAF plants yet operating, airlines and producers warn that mandated volumes may not be available. The shortfall could force costly compliance measures or regulatory adjustments.

Air France–KLM hit with €7.5m penalty after missing 2025 jet‑fuel GHG targets tied to €1bn green bond Air France–KLM expects a €7.5 million (USD8.8 million) cost after failing to meet 2025 jet‑fuel greenhouse‑gas targets tied to a €1 billion (USD1.1 billion) green bond. The missed target will be recorded as a penalty against the group's results and underscores tangible costs of corporate decarbonisation commitments.
