SINGAPORE, Sept 28– Cebu Pacific (CEB) operated on Wednesday a Singapore to Manila passenger
flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), becoming the first Philippine carrier to incorporate SAF
in its commercial operations.
The leading Philippine carrier’s maiden SAF flight was operated with an Airbus A321neo, using 35%
blended SAF produced by Neste and supplied by Shell Eastern Petroleum.
SAF will help the aviation industry reduce its carbon emissions,” said Alex Reyes, Chief Strategy Officer
at Cebu Pacific. “We encourage more producers to increase the supply of SAF in the region. Our first
passenger flight using SAF is a culmination of months of cooperation with valued partners and is an
important component of our sustainability program.”
The send-off event at Singapore’s Changi International Airport Terminal 4 was marked with Filipino
festivities to showcase Philippine culture and celebrate an important milestone in Cebu Pacific history.
We applaud Cebu Pacific for taking the first step on their SAF journey and are honored that they have
chosen to do so from Changi Airport. Changi Airport Group looks forward to supporting more airlines on
their SAF journey, to power sustainable air travel together,” said Mr Yeo Kia Thye, Managing Director,
Airport Operations Planning and Airside at Changi Airport Group. – sa ulat ni Raoul Esperas (Patrol 45).
