“Qantas is also looking at ways to save fuel and reduce carbon emissions, and is pioneering Required Navigational Performance (RNP), which uses leading edge technology to land aircraft efficiently.”
SAFUG is pursuing the development of sustainable aviation fuel which performs as well or better than traditional kerosene based fuel, minimises biodiversity impacts and provides socioeconomic value for the communities where fuel feedstocks are grown. Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific and Virgin Blue are also members of the SAFUG.
