The initiative is a further step in\nAirbus\u2019 ongoing commitment to carbon-neutral growth in the aviation sector,\nwith a long-term goal of developing a zero carbon-producing commercial aircraft\nby 2035. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDelivering every one of our Mobile-produced aircraft with\nSAF is an important, iterative step toward solving the carbon challenge,\u201d said\nC. Jeffrey Knittel, Chairman and CEO of Airbus Americas, Inc. In November,\nAirbus began delivering aircraft with a SAF blend to some of its customers,\ngradually ramping-up to encompass all deliveries from the Mobile final assembly\nline. Henceforth, every aircraft delivered from the Airbus US manufacturing\nsite will have SAF on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSAF is a positive contributor to enhanced sustainability in\naviation since it enables up to an 80% reduction of CO2 across the fuel\nlifecycle.&nbsp; We are committed to making\nsustainable aviation fuels an everyday reality with use on an increasingly\nlarger scale, and this announcement is further evidence of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the launch of this initiative, American Airlines,\nBreeze Airways, Delta Air Lines and Spirit Airlines have taken delivery of\nAirbus aircraft with SAF on board. The remainder of Airbus customer airlines\nwill be added to this list in accordance with delivery schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have reached an agreement with Signature Flight Support\nto supply SAF to our Mobile facility,\u201d said Daryl Taylor, Vice President &amp;\nGeneral Manager of the Mobile manufacturing site.&nbsp; \u201cThis initiative advances our commitment to\nreducing the carbon footprint of the aviation industry,\u201d he said. Signature\nFlight Support is working in partnership with World Energy to provide the\nU.S.-sourced SAF to Airbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From its U.S. manufacturing facility in Mobile, Alabama,\nAirbus delivers both A220 and A320 Family aircraft to U.S.-based customers.\nSince 2016, the company has delivered 284 Airbus aircraft from Mobile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo above: A recent fueling of an Airbus A320 with a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blend at Airbus\u2019 Mobile, Alabama Final Assembly Line for delivery to Spirit Airlines.
