United Airlines has signed a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) supply deal with US energy giant Phillips 66.
Under the deal, Phillips will supply SAF to United Airlines’ hub at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Los Angeles’ LAX Airport.
Initially, the agreement will see the supply of 600,000 gallons of SAF to LAX by the end of this year, with 3 million gallons of SAF due at Chicago-O’Hare in the first half of 2025; with that total possibly rising to 8 million gallons.
“We are excited to continue our collaboration with United Airlines to advance its lower-carbon goals and explore ways to benefit all segments of the aviation industry,” said Brian Mandell, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Commercial, Phillips 66. “Building on our legacy as a leading conventional jet fuel supplier, providing 10% of the fuel volumes nationwide, we are dedicated to offering additional fuel options to our customers.”
