IATA planning to link airlines and sustainable aviation fuel producers

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) will set up a “Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Matchmaker” to connect airlines with SAF suppliers. The association, which is the global representative body for the airline industry, is currently holding its World Sustainability Symposium, in Miami, in the US State of Florida. “Our vision is to create a transparent, efficient, and accessible matchmaking platform that will accelerate the uptake of SAF as the aviation industry progresses towards net zero CO2 emissions by 2050,” explained IATA Senior VP Sustainability and Chief Economist Marie Owens Thomsen. “The platform will do that by reducing the costs and complications that airlines face when looking for SAF suppliers.”
