Customers can make customized contributions through the Korean Air Cargo SAF program and reduce their carbon footprint.
Korean Air will use the contributions to purchase additional SAF and share with customers the amount of carbon emissions reduced by using SAF.
The initiative is part of the airline’s ongoing effort to reduce carbon emissions and raise awareness in the air cargo sector to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Korean Air has been at the forefront of paving the foundation for SAF usage in the Korean domestic aviation industry. The airline has actively participated in the Korean government’s “eco-friendly biofuel activation alliance” since October 2022, to introduce and promote new biofuel in Korea.
The airline will continue to work with stakeholders in the government, private institutions, and refiners to review various domestic and international demonstration projects to increase SAF production and application.
We’re pleased to work together with our clients to reduce carbon emissions from cargo operations through the SAF program. Korean Air is committed to sustainable development with our next generation in mind said Jaedong Eum, SVP and Head of Korean Air’s Cargo Business Division.
