Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc Airport launches sustainable fuel and electric charging to support aviation decarbonisation and regional environmental goals.
Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc Airport (NCY), operated by VINCI Airports, has taken a significant step in its environmental strategy by offering Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and a 44kW electric charging station for electric aircraft. This initiative stems from a new fuelling contract with TotalEnergies, which includes the installation of a semi-underground tank for distributing SAF to airlines and airport users.
The SAF supplied to Annecy is produced in Europe by TotalEnergies from waste and residues, such as used cooking oil, then blended up to 35% with conventional aviation fuel. SAF provides a tangible alternative to fossil fuels, enabling an immediate reduction in aviation emissions.
VINCI Airports now offers SAF at four of its French airports: Annecy, Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne, Toulon Hyères, and Saint-Nazaire Montoir.
