The first flight of an A380 operating one engine on 100% sustainable aviation fuel follows successful flight test campaigns involving an A350 and an A319neo last year. This latest milestone once again demonstrates Airbus’ commitment to achieving certification of unblended SAF for commercial use by 2030.
Reminder that this is a test but it looks promising.
