All global Airbus commercial aircraft assembly sites are now sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) capable after Canada\u2019s A220 home in Mirabel took its first delivery.<\/p>\n

Announcing the green milestone on March 20, 2025, Airbus<\/a> said its Mirabel A220 site recently welcomed the first tanker truck filled with SAF to power internal operations.<\/p>\n

Joining their colleagues around the world, the Airbus A220 teams in Canada will now be able to use SAF for production, customer acceptance and test flights.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn average, SAF can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel. This substantial reduction is crucial to the industry\u2019s progress towards decarbonisation by 2050. It\u2019s a big milestone to now have our Mirabel site in Canada, as SAF capable as our other Airbus sites. It not only means we can test our A220 aircraft using SAF, but we will also be able to deliver them to our customers with SAF too,\u201d Beno\u00eet Schultz, CEO of Airbus Canada<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

According to Airbus, 75% of the planemaker\u2019s aircraft were delivered with SAF in 2024, representing the importance that its customers are also placing on decarbonisation.<\/p>\n

While in 2025, Airbus plans that all commercial aircraft delivery centers around the world will offer SAF to customers for ferry flights.<\/p>\n
