AEGEAN with the support of its longtime partner HELLENIC PETROLEUM, is moving ahead with its program to grow the use of SAF flights. AEGEAN airlines will be able to power its flights from Athens International Airport with a SAF blend.
Following the first and successful delivery of the airport’s “Hydrant” fueling supply system with SAF, provided by HELLENIC PETROLEUM subsidiary EKO, AEGEAN has the option to fuel its aircraft departing from its Athens hub with sustainable fuel.
This is a win-win development for AEGEAN primary hub Athens International Airport, the biggest airport in Greece. The move will reduce the airport’s carbon footprint and strengthens its position amongst Europe’s greenest airports.
Neste MY Sustainable Aviation FuelTM is a sustainable aviation fuel that is produced by NESTE from 100% renewable waste and residue raw materials, such as used cooking oil and animal fat waste, that reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil jet fuel, throughout their life cycle.
In a statement Efthichios Vassilakis, AEGEAN Chairman said that this achievement is a result of a joint effort, showcasing that the only way to achieve the goal for green and sustainable aviation is through cooperation, quick decision making and practical, innovative solutions. Even if such solutions is a first, small step in an ongoing effort that should be continued and intensified as we move forward to climate change
We are very pleased that just one month after our agreement with HELLENIC PETROLEUM to lead the sustainable aviation fuel program in Greece, we are now able to power our fleet with SAF from Athens International Airport as well.

We express the will to be present in this new era, acknowledging that the challenges of the energy crisis are in fact accelerating developments in the EU for the energy transition and the shift to cleaner forms of energy”.
