CEVA Logistics has announced its involvement as an inaugural participant in United Airlines’ Eco-Skies Alliance, a first of its kind involving leading global corporations working with the airline to power future flying more sustainably.
CEVA Logistics and other Eco-Skies Alliance leaders will work with United Airlines to collectively purchase approximately 3.4m gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) this year. According to United Airlines, SAF fuel reduces emissions by approximately 80% on a lifecycle basis compared to conventional jet fuel, this is enough SAF to eliminate approximately 31,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, or enough to fly passengers more than 200m miles.
As an inaugural participant, CEVA Logistics is taking a lead in the air cargo industry to reduce the logistics-related impact on the environment at the source by creating demand for more SAF.
“With our participation in the United Eco-Skies Alliance, CEVA is taking tangible action today, with an eye on the solutions of tomorrow. Offering a SAF option to our air cargo customers in partnership with United demonstrates CEVA’s commitment to a more sustainable supply chain. We applaud the participation of each member of the Alliance,” said Mathieu Friedberg, CEO, CEVA Logistics.
