Singapore Airlines joins Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group

Singapore Airlines recently joined the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group (SAFUG).

Established in 2008 SAFUG is a working group that aims at accelerating the development and commercialisation of lower carbon renewable aviation fuels derived from environmentally and socially sustainable sources.

Singapore Airlines Executive Vice President Human Resources and Operations Ng Chin Hwee said "We are pleased to be the newest member of SAFUG. This goes well with our long-standing commitment to reduce green house gas emissions while improving efficiency of our operations.

It will take time to research and develop alternative fuels that meet the stringent safety requirements of civil aviation and at the same time are commercially viable. Through SAFUG which brings together Airlines and aircraft manufacturers, we hope to be one step closer.
