Neste to supply SAF to Air Canada’s fleet

A total of 60,000 tons of the company’s MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel as the first the fuel will be supplied to Canada.

Neste and Air Canada have signed an agreement for the supply of 60,000 metric tons of neat Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel. 

The energy company will deliver the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blended with conventional jet fuel to the Vancouver marine terminal starting in December 2024, with further shipments throughout 2025. The terminal has a direct pipeline connection to the fuel facilities at Vancouver International Airport enabling the use of the blended SAF at the airport.

The agreement builds on the existing partnership between the two companies and supports the airline’s environmental commitments which include a target to procure SAF to account for 1% of the airline’s estimated 2025 jet fuel use. 

“It underlines our commitment to supporting the Canadian aviation industry in its efforts to mitigate emissions and also shows the important role that policy support can play in accelerating SAF usage. We look forward to continuing our excellent collaboration with Air Canada,” said Carl Nyberg, Executive Vice President at Neste.

This partnership marks the first time that Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel will be supplied to Canada. In 2023, the firm supplied SAF purchased by Air Canada at San Francisco International Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
