[EU-South Asia Aviation Partnership Project II @EU_SA_APP]

@EASA is committed to facilitating the uptake of Sustainable Aviation Fuels #SAF in the #aviation industry. Using #SAF allows for a noticeable reduction of the environmental impact of aviation in the short to medium term while using the existing global fleet.

Day 2 of the "Environment matters in Aviation" Workshop discussed the essential elements of Sustainable Aviation Fuels. In order to ensure the creation of #SAF value chain it is important that all the players along the pathway are on board!
