Red Sea International Airport to Cut Air Emissions by 35%
SAF is a cleaner jet fuel made from renewable sources like plants, waste and captured carbon.
Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Global (RSG) has announced it will be introducing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Red Sea International Airport, making it the first in the country to offer greener air travel.
SAF comes from renewable sources like plants, waste and even captured carbon, making it a much cleaner alternative to regular jet fuel. At RSI, the plan is to mix 35% SAF with 65% traditional jet fuel, which helps cut down pollution from each flight without compromising performance. Meanwhile, RSG’s airline, Fly Red Sea, plans to run entirely on SAF and other lower-carbon fuels.
This makes Saudi Arabia one of many countries investing in Sustainable Aviation Fuel as a way to reduce aviation emissions. The United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Japan, United Arab Emirates, and Australia are already working to expand the use of SAF, with plans to increase its adoption in the coming years.
