SAS endorses Bodø e-SAF declaration
SAS announced (12-Apr-2025) its support for the Bodø e-SAF Declaration, joining a coalition of aviation and energy stakeholders advocating for large scale deployment of electro-sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF). The declaration calls for regulatory support, investment security and cross sector collaboration. Through the declaration, producers, technology providers, aircraft and engine manufacturers, airports, policymakers and researchers unite behind the shared ambition of ensuring aviation can continue to serve its role in society while reducing its climate impact. The declaration builds on initiatives such as the Project SkyPower joint letter to the European Commission submitted in Feb-2025, led by SAS and supported by a network of aviation and energy stakeholders.

Background ✨
SAS, as part of Project SkyPower, joined 75 aviation and energy stakeholders in urging the EU for policy support to advance e-SAF development, emphasising its potential to create jobs and reduce emissions1. Project SkyPower, with over 70 industry leaders, called for specific EU policies to scale up e-SAF production, citing investment barriers2. Despite these efforts, no e-SAF plants in Europe had reached the final investment decision stage3.
