Korean Air expands cargo SAF program in partnership with CEVA Logistics
Korean Air announced that it will expand its cargo sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) program by partnering with global logistics company CEVA Logistics.
Korean Air’s customer-participation SAF program was launched in September 2023 to engage industry partners in supporting sustainable practices.
Jaedong Eum, Senior Vice President and Head of Korean Air’s Cargo Business Division said, “We are pleased with the strong support from businesses and cargo customers for our SAF program. We will continue to build partnerships that enable our customers to actively and directly contribute to decarbonization efforts.”
As per the agreement, CEVA Logistics will facilitate the airline’s adoption of SAF for its air cargo operations, and the two entities will share subsequent carbon emissions reductions. Both companies are dedicated to promoting SAF usage and increasing awareness of carbon emission reduction in the logistics industry.
Olivier Boccara, Air & Ocean Leader APAC, CEVA Logistics, added, “Extending our SAF offering into the Asian market is a tangible step we can take now as we look ahead to more advances in fuels and other technologies to decarbonize air freight and the global supply chain.”

In February 2022, Korean Air became the first Korean flag carrier to use SAF.
In September 2022, the airline signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Shell to procure SAF at key airports across the Asia Pacific and the Middle East from 2026 to 2031.
The company said that in its commitment to sustainable aviation, Korean Air will continue to foster partnerships with its customers, energy companies, and stakeholders to support the adoption of SAF in the global aviation industry.
