Key Takeaways:

FedEx significantly expanded its use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) across five major U.S. airports by late 2025, including Dallas-Fort Worth and JFK, with agreements totaling approximately 5 million gallons of neat SAF.
Despite FedEx's efforts and global policy incentives, the broader adoption of SAF faces substantial challenges, including projected slow production growth, high costs, and supply shortages, making industry emissions targets difficult to achieve.

Fed Ex announced last week that it expanded its use of sustainable aviation fuel toward the end of 2025, adding Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW) and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) to its growing list of U.S. locations receiving blended SAF.

With those additions, the company used the fuel at five major U.S. airports during the year, securing agreements totaling the equivalent of about 5 million gallons of neat SAF. FedEx said deliveries at KDFW and KJFK are being supplied through World Fuel Services at a minimum 30 percent blend.
