SAS Warns a Structural E-SAF Gap Threatens European Aviation Competitiveness
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has issued a significant warning regarding a structural gap in the production of electro-sustainable aviation fuels (e-SAF) in Europe. The airline's Head of Sustainability argues this shortage directly threatens the industry's ability to meet the mandates set by the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation. Without a rapid increase in local production, European carriers could face a competitive disadvantage. This is due to potential reliance on a limited and expensive supply, possibly controlled by producers outside the continent. SAS is urging EU policymakers to create a stable framework to encourage investment and scale up e-SAF manufacturing within Europe.
