In Vietnam, Vietjet has pioneered using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced by Petrolimex Aviation in Vietnam on its flights. For the first time in Vietnam, Petrolimex Aviation has blended and provided the first 1,200 m³ of SAF for Vietjet flights, marking an important milestone in the production and use of sustainable aviation fuel in Vietnam. Petrolimex Aviation also provided the Proof of Sustainability (PoS) in accordance with the ISCC EU standard, ensuring the fuel meets stringent international sustainability and CO₂ emission reduction standards.
On October 17, 2024, Vietjet partnered with Petrolimex Aviation to conduct the first two flights being fueled SAF in Vietnam. Produced from renewable and sustainable sources such as used cooking oil, agricultural by-products, wood biomass, and urban waste, SAF can help reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional fuels. It meets stringent international aviation standards and is safe for commercial operations.
