United Flight Uses 100 Percent SAF To Power Passenger Flight - AVweb

The 100 or so passengers on United 2701 from O’Hare to Reagan National on Dec. 1 likely didn’t notice anything different but the airline says the planet breathed a tiny bit easier. The Boeing 737-8 flew the 612 miles with one engine burning 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made by World Energy. "Today's SAF flight is not only a significant milestone for efforts to decarbonize our industry," United CEO Scott Kirby said in a statement, "but when combined with the surge in commitments to produce and purchase alternative fuels, we're demonstrating the scalable and impactful way companies can join together and play a role in addressing the biggest challenge of our lifetimes.”
