Akasa Air has successfully operated its first commercial flight using conventional Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) blended with 1% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), supplied by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL).
The flight, which departed from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai, marks a milestone in the sustainability initiatives of the airline. It is to be noted that this initiative aligns with the national goal to achieve 5% SAF blending in aviation fuel by 2030 to reduce the carbon footprint of the domestic aviation sector.
