More Malaysia Airlines flights to be powered by biofuel in next 12 months
Neste, Petronas are suppliers
MALAYSIA Aviation Group, the parent company of Malaysia Airlines, is looking at rolling out more flights using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the next 6 to 12 months, as part of efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Philip See, the chief sustainability officer of Malaysia Aviation Group, said this initiative will include passenger and cargo flights under the subsidiary groups of Malaysia Aviation Group — including Firefly.
He added that the usage of SAF in passenger flights is one of the measures to reduce the group’s carbon footprint and Malaysia Aviation Group aims to be a pioneer in using SAF for flights in Malaysia.
