SAS joins Project SkyPower's urgent mission to scale e-SAF in Europe this decade

With the addition of SAS, Project SkyPower’s leadership grows to 14 CEOs, reinforcing European airlines’ commitment to advance Europe’s first e-SAF projects to final investment decisions.

SAS - Scandinavian Airlines joins Project SkyPower's urgent mission to scale e-SAF in Europe this decade, increasing airline representation to over 10% of European passenger aviation.

This is more than a milestone—it’s momentum. With less than two years to get first large-scale e-SAF projects to Final Investment Decision (FID), strong airline leadership is essential to scaling e-SAF in time to meet 2030 mandates.

SAS President and CEO Anko van der Werff adds his voice to SkyPower’s coalition of 14 CEOs, calling for regulatory certainty and targeted public support—critical steps to unlocking financing and breaking ground on Europe’s first large-scale e-SAF plants by 2026. SAS’s commitment to lead strengthens SkyPower’s offtaker presence and sends another powerful signal: airlines are ready to deliver on the demand side of the e-SAF equation.

With over 40 members from across aviation and energy sectors, Project SkyPower is laying the groundwork for a competitive e-SAF sector in Europe—our members are leading the way.
