Heathrow Airport is stepping up its industry-leading carbon-cutting programme for a fifth consecutive year, setting an ambitious target to exceed the United Kingdom's 3.6 per cent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate by 2 per cent in 2026.Combined, this would see up to 5.6 per cent of all aviation fuel used at Heathrow derived from SAF, amounting to around 350,000 tonnes. Heathrow is leading the way globally, with 17 per cent of the world's SAF supply in 2024 used at the airport. SAF is a key lever on aviation's journey to net zero by 2050, and a key element of Heathrow's Net Zero Plan. Our incentive delivers real progress today, as well as a future promise for tomorrow."
