                       Cargo SAF Program

  As a leading global airline, Korean Air supports the aviation industry's climate change action goals and has implemented a variety of mitigation measures and is actively cooperating with governments, fuel suppliers and aircraft manufacturers to achieve these goals.
blank Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is an alternative fuel made from environmentally friendly sources such as used cooking oil, agricultural byproducts and waste. It can be blended with conventional jet fuel and can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to jet fuel. SAF is a key carbon reduction measure within the aviation industry and International Air Transport Association(IATA) expects the use of SAF to play a key role in reducing aviation's greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for the largest share (65%) of the industry's emissions reduction activities in the coming years.
