KOREAN Air has joined forces with LX Pantos, a global logistics company, in a collaborative effort to extend the utilisation of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in its cargo flights, reports New York's Airport Technology.
The partnership was formalised through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at the korean Air headquarters in Seoul.
In September, Korean Air initiated a cargo SAF programme, allowing air cargo customers and forwarders to make tailored contributions to mitigate their carbon footprint.
As part of the agreement, LX Pantos will procure SAF for Korean Air's cargo operations, and Korean Air, in turn, will disclose the quantified reduction in carbon emissions resulting from this sustainable initiative.
'We are delighted to welcome LX Pantos as our first partner in the joint initiative for the future of SAF. Together, we hope to cooperate closely to expedite the commercialisation of SAF, a common goal in the aviation industry, and enhance awareness of SAF utilisation in the Korean market,' said Korean Air vice president Jaedong Eum.
