Emirates<\/strong> has become the world\u2019s first airline to operate an A380 demonstration flight using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s flight took off from Dubai International Airport with one of four engines powered on 100% SAF, helping demonstrate its potential as a drop-in replacement that matches jet fuel\u2019s technical and chemical requirements, while being a more sustainable alternative. SAF can reduce carbon emissions by up to 85%* over the fuel\u2019s life cycle when compared to conventional jet fuel.<\/p>\n

Demonstration flights like the one conducted today pave the way for future standardisation, qualification and adoption for 100% SAF flying, as governments adopt broader strategies to support the production and scale up of SAF. SAF is currently capped at a 50% blend limit in engines for commercial flights.<\/p>\n

The Emirates A380 demonstration flight comes as the aviation industry, international organisations, regulatory bodies and high-level officials driving policy-related decisions converge in Dubai for the Third International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF\/3). Dedicated collaborators from Airbus, Engine Alliance, Pratt & Whitney, Neste, Virent and ENOC have been working on the testing, technical assessments and data analysis for today\u2019s flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmirates is the first passenger airline in the world to operate an A380 with 100% drop-in SAF powering one of four Engine Alliance GP7200 engines. This is another proud moment for Emirates and our partners, as we put words into action with the research into and the trialling of higher concentrations of SAF to eventually lead to industry adoption of 100% SAF flying\u201d, Adel Al Redha, Chief Operating Officer, Emirates Airline said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Emirates successfully completed the first 100% SAF-powered demonstration flight in the region on a GE90-powered Boeing 777-300ER.<\/p>\n

Last month, the first Emirates flights operating with SAF provided by Shell Aviation took off from Dubai International Airport.<\/p>\n

The airline recently expanded its partnership with Neste for the supply of over 3 million gallons of blended SAF in 2024 and 2025 for flights departing from Amsterdam Schiphol and Singapore Changi airports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emirates has become the world\u2019s first airline to operate an A380 demonstration flight using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel…\n","protected":false},"author":4316,"featured_media":145709,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[603,230,335,198],"class_list":{"0":"post-145731","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-airlines","8":"tag-aerolinea-en-2","9":"tag-airline","10":"tag-emirates-2","11":"tag-flights"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-300x150.jpg",300,150,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-768x384.jpg",768,384,true],"large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"pk-small":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",80,40,false],"pk-thumbnail":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",300,150,false],"csco-small":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-80x80.jpg",80,80,true],"csco-intermediate":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-200x140.jpg",200,140,true],"csco-thumbnail":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-380x220.jpg",380,220,true],"csco-thumbnail-alternative":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-300x180.jpg",300,180,true],"csco-thumbnail-uncropped":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-380x190.jpg",380,190,true],"csco-medium":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-medium-alternative":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380-560x336.jpg",560,336,true],"csco-medium-uncropped":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-large-uncropped":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-extra-large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Emirates-Vuelos-100-SAF-del-A380.jpg",800,400,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Redacci\u00f3n -
