Simple Flying - Luke Bodell
Airlines will have easy access to sustainable fuel at the airport.
Bordeaux Airport (BOD) has revealed that it will offer a permanent supply of SAF in partnership with TotalEnergies, a French energy company that also produces sustainable fuels.
Yesterday, three flights departing from Bordeaux were refueled with 30% SAF by TotalEnergies - these flights were Lufthansa flight LH1085 to Frankfurt, Air France flight AF7627 to Paris Charles-de-Gaulle, and an ambulance flight operated by Airlec.
Simon Dreschel, Chairman of the Board of SA Aéroport de Bordeaux-Mérignac, said,
"We are proud to be able to offer this service to airlines on a permanent basis at Bordeaux Airport and thus contribute to reducing their carbon footprint. We are committed to decarbonizing all airport activities and supporting the objective of transforming the entire aviation sector by 2050."
