Air New Zealand Buys 9M Liters of SAF from Neste

Air New Zealand has agreed to purchase 9 million liters of neat sustainable aviation fuel from producer Neste, the carrier announced Monday. Neither company disclosed the value of the deal. 

The fuel will be produced at Neste's Singapore refinery and will be blended with conventional jet fuel and supplied to Los Angeles International Airport between April 1 and Nov. 30, 2024, according to the carrier. Air New Zealand expected its total fuel uptake during that period to be about 850 million liters across its network.

The carrier said the deal is the "largest purchase of SAF from Neste by any airline outside of North America and Europe for delivery before the end of 2024."
