Key Takeaways:

  • Wheels Up has launched a new program enabling charter customers to contribute to the purchase of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to reduce their carbon footprint.
  • This initiative aims to increase demand for SAF, a renewable "drop-in" fuel capable of reducing lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80%, to help scale its currently scarce production and use.
  • Wheels Up will source SAF from Delta Air Lines, a major owner of the company with significant SAF commitments, and is partnering with the Choose software platform for program implementation.

Private aviation company Wheels Up is starting a new program aimed at supporting and generating demand for sustainable aviation fuel.

Wheels Up charter customers looking to reduce their carbon footprint will now have the opportunity to contribute to the purchase of SAF as part of their booking. The contributions will help Wheels Up obtain SAF from Delta Air Lines, which is building up its own supply of SAF and plans to use the fuel for 10 percent of its filling needs by 2030.
