Volanteus Director Alina Minaeva has been profiled in Business Air News this month. for her work in making the industry more sustainable. The focus of the news item is sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Sustainability is a key focus for Alina and as a member of The ACA Sustainability & Innovation Group is a key subject, and particularly topical at present.

Here is a short excerpt and a link to the full news item:

Currently SAF is three to four times more expensive than traditional aviation fuel, so both demand and production are very low. Only 0.1 per cent of the jet fuel currently used is sustainable. It should become cheaper over time, but it’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation: SAF is produced in line with demand, but it is expensive so demand is low. Higher demand will reduce production costs, which will make it more attractive.
