The Latam Group recently announced one of its sustainability milestones, the same one that enables us to think about a better and sustainable world.
This is the company’s first international flight using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The journey was made by LATAM Cargo Chile from Zaragoza Airport (Spain) to North America and fulfills the group’s commitment to become carbon neutral by 2050.

“Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) comes from alternative raw materials such as waste, fats and oils, which are processed together with conventional fuel to produce a low-carbon synthetic fuel,” the company announced.
30,000 liters of co-processed SAF, made from used cooking oil, were used for the journey, the other part being traditional jet fuel.
“We are very pleased with this achievement as using SAF requires the collaboration of multiple actors and the success of this operation reflects that these collaborations are possible. This was a first step and we will continue to look for alternatives that allow us to make an important contribution to the environment and to the communities in which we operate,” said Andrés Bianchi, CEO of Latam Cargo.
“This latest announcement marks another important milestone for Air bp in its efforts to increase SAF availability. Co-processing represents an important step in substituting renewable raw materials for fossil fuels in existing refineries and plays a critical role in increasing SAF production in a more economical and efficient manner,” said Andrea Moyes, Global Head of Sustainability at Airbp.
