Positive Passenger Response to Wizz Air/Airbus SAF Flights Trial

Wizz Air has garnered favourable passenger reaction from its Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) trial, run in conjunction with Airbus, Moeve and Brussels South Charleroi Airport.

The trial covered the running of more than 50 flights using SAF, which can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90%.

Key Findings from Wizz Air’s Passenger Survey:

  • Awareness Gap: Only 45% of passengers knew about SAF before the survey, but 71% believe it positively impacts aviation’s carbon footprint.
  • Environmental Choices: 58% are open to changing travel habits for environmental reasons, though 36% are unwilling to pay extra for lower-emission flights.
  • Public-Private Collaboration: 72% of respondents want more government investment to scale SAF production and reduce costs.
