December 18, 2025 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Neste and Cathay Group have entered into an agreement for the supply of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™ to support Cathay Group’s aviation operations across three key regions: Europe, the United States, and Asia-Pacific. The agreement is designed to help Cathay scale up its use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and advance its broader decarbonisation strategy.
Under the agreement, Neste is leveraging its established SAF supply capabilities at major international airports to deliver blended SAF for Cathay Group operations. Neste has been supplying SAF for Cathay Pacific flights departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in Europe and Los Angeles International Airport in the United States. In the Asia-Pacific region, Neste has also provided SAF to Singapore Changi Airport for flights operated by Air Hong Kong, the Cathay Group’s all-cargo airline. In each location, the SAF is blended with conventional jet fuel and supplied through the airports’ existing fuel infrastructure.
Kristof Van Passel, head of procurement operations and sustainability at Cathay Pacific, noted that the partnership represents an important step in the group’s efforts to decarbonise air travel. He highlighted that the collaboration supports Cathay’s multi-faceted approach to accelerating SAF adoption across its network, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and sustainability. SAF continues to be viewed by the group as the most viable solution currently available for reducing emissions associated with flying.
Mario Mifsud, vice president of Renewable Fuels Sales and Trading for EMEA and APAC at Neste, said the company is proud to support Cathay Group’s emissions reduction ambitions through the supply of Neste MY SAF. He emphasised that Neste’s global SAF production and supply capabilities provide international airlines with a practical pathway to scale up SAF usage, while also enabling Cathay’s customers to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their air travel and cargo transport activities.
