Korean Air and CEVA Logistics partner on cargo SAF use – Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
Korean Air has collaborated with CEVA Logistics to enhance its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) programme for the airline’s cargo operations.
Under the agreement, CEVA Logistics will support Korean Air’s usage of SAF in its air cargo operations, and the airline will then share carbon emissions reductions with CEVA Logistics.
Both companies state they are committed to promoting SAF usage and raising awareness about reducing carbon emissions in the logistics sector.
Jaedong Eum, senior vice president and head of cargo business division at Korean Air, said:
We are pleased with the strong support from businesses and cargo customers for our SAF programme.
“We will continue to build partnerships that enable our customers to actively and directly contribute to decarbonisation efforts.”
Korean Air’s customer-participation SAF programme was launched in September 2023 to engage industry partners in supporting sustainable practices.
Olivier Boccara, air and ocean leader for APAC at CEVA Logistics, said:
One of CEVA’s key short-term levers to promote decarbonisation hinges on collaboration.
“Through developing new solutions for our customers with airline partners like Korean Air, we are able to contribute to meaningful change in our industry.
“Extending our SAF offering into the Asian market is a tangible step we can take now as we look ahead to more advances in fuels and other technologies to decarbonise air freight and the global supply chain.”
In February 2022, Korean Air became the first Korean flag carrier to use SAF, by implementing it on its scheduled Paris to Seoul Incheon route.
The airline also signed an MoU with Shell in September 2022 to purchase SAF at major airports in Asia Pacific and the Middle East from 2026 to 2031.
