World Fuel Services and Neste on May 22 announce their recently signed agreement for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), further strengthening the relationship between these two global companies. This agreement provides World Fuel with greater access to the currently limited supply of SAF available for European commercial, business, and general aviation customers. Increasing the accessibility of renewable fuels like SAF worldwide is a key tenet of World Fuel's mission to enable its customers and partners to decarbonize their operations.

The new supply agreement extends the already strong collaboration on SAF, which brings together Neste's well-established production capabilities with World Fuel's global distribution network and large customer base. With greater committed volumes of SAF from Neste under the new agreement, World Fuel has increased the number of European airports they can supply with SAF from 13 to over 40. This collaboration also paves the way for expanding the accessibility of SAF at more than 100 airport locations presently in World Fuel's European network.
