Spanish energy giant Moeve – formerly Cepsa – has completed the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to German carrier Condor for flights on its routes out of Tenerife.
The agreement covered more than 515 metric tons of SAF, produced from used cooking oils and agricultural waste, a supply expected to reduce 1,700 tons of lifecycle CO2 emissions when compared with conventional jet fuel.
The SAF was used on routes connecting Tenerife with major German cities including Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, and Düsseldorf. According to airport operator Aena, more than 450,000 passengers a year choose Condor for flights to and from Tenerife South Airport.
Ángel Martínez Campos, Sustainable Aviation business development at Moeve: “This agreement reinforces Moeve’s commitment to lowering emissions in aviation and in an industry as vital to Spain and Tenerife as tourism. Working alongside Condor to accelerate this effort clearly shows both companies’ dedication to sustainability beyond what is mandatory regulation.”
“Since last year, Condor guests have had the opportunity to voluntarily round up their flight booking price or make direct contributions to advance Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and certified climate protection projects. These funds are exclusively allocated to procure and deploy additional SAF beyond regulatory mandates,” said Sina Rathgeber, Director Airport Relations, Government Affairs and Sustainability at Condor. “Our guests’ strong commitment has enabled this significant step forward, including partnerships like Moeve for the procurement of additional SAF.”
