Cathay inks largest SAF deal with DB Schenker

The SAF will enable DB Schenker to save over 2,600 tonnes in CO2 emissions.

Cathay signed its largest deal under its Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel Programme with DB Schenker.

DB Schenker will purchase 878 tonnes of SAF from the airline, saving the former over 2,600 tonnes in carbon emissions.

The SAF arranged for DB Schenker is derived from waste cooking oil and animal fats and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 80% on a life-cycle basis compared to conventional jet fuel.

Cathay Pacific plans to source 10% of its fuel from SAF by 2030, aligning with Cathay Cargo’s Fly Greener program and ensuring top-tier carbon offsetting through Gold Standard-certified community and environmental projects.
