European Airlines Demand Urgent Changes to RefuelEU SAF Mandates
A coalition of Europe's leading airlines is calling for urgent revisions to the RefuelEU aviation legislation. The carriers argue that the mandates for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) are currently unworkable due to high costs and insufficient supply. They are urging the European Commission to provide more flexibility and greater support to scale up SAF production across the continent. Without these changes, the airlines warn of a significant competitive disadvantage against non-EU carriers and potential impacts on ticket prices.
