The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has wrapped up a 20-month pilot test of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with the conclusion that, while Changi Airport is ready for SAF use, more supplies are required to support adoption.

The pilot—conducted in partnership with Singapore Airlines, global environmental investment fund GenZero, and Singapore-based investment company Temasek—highlighted three areas. Firstly, it validated the end-to-end process of bringing SAF to the airport, from procurement to blending with conventional jet fuel in Singapore facilities, certification, and delivery to the airport without the need to modify any existing infrastructure at Changi.
