Minnesota Flight To Fly on Locally Grown SAF
Delta flight will highlight the region's SAF production chain
Winter camelina
Winter camelina makes for a rotation crop that provides soil cover and contributes to water quality, soil regeneration, and ecosystem resilience, in addition to providing a low carbon feedstock for the production of sustainable aviation fuel.,

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (KMSP) received its first shipment of locally produced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) this week, which will be used to power a Delta Air Lines flight tomorrow as the ceremonial first SAF flight to depart the state.

The blended fuel—with its SAF component produced from locally grown winter camelina, a low-carbon-intensity oilseed crop—demonstrated the regional capabilities of biofuel production as championed by the Minnesota SAF Hub.
