In Switzerland, Kuehne+Nagel and Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), said they are strengthening their strategic partnership to drive more sustainable aviation.
With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, both companies will collaborate on sustainability projects, with a particular focus on innovative technologies to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
The partnership focuses on a shared commitment to sustainable aviation fuel produced by Synhelion, a Swiss cleantech firm that converts sunlight into renewable synthetic fuels like solar jet fuel. To support scaling this technology, Kuehne+Nagel, SWISS, and its air freight division Swiss WorldCargo, have agreed on a long-term offtake agreement of SAF that provides Synhelion with planning security and drives innovation in the sector.
Starting in 2027, Kuehne+Nagel will purchase Synhelion SAF from SWISS under a five-year agreement for its cargo shipments by Swiss WorldCargo.
