Volotea used more than 7 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in 2025, representing over 2% of its total fuel consumption. This achievement triples the industry average of 0.6% and meets the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation’s 2% minimum for the year.
The volume marks a fivefold increase from 1.3 million liters in 2024. From 2022 to 2025, the airline consumed over 9.4 million liters total, accelerating its decarbonization efforts.
SAF reduces lifecycle emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. Volotea attributes this progress to strategic supply agreements, including up to 7.5 million liters from TotalEnergies for French departures and 6.1 million liters from Repsol for Spanish airports through 2029.
These deals, using waste-based feedstocks like used cooking oils, require no aircraft modifications. The surge positions Volotea ahead of peers, enhancing operational sustainability amid rising EU mandates toward 6% SAF by 2030.
