Delta expands SAF access through multi-airport collaboration with Shell Aviation

Under the five-year agreement, Delta plans to expand the supply of SAF through 2030, building on decades of collaboration on conventional jet fuel with Shell.

Delta and Shell will work together to evaluate and advance next generation SAF technologies — including alcohol to jet and power to liquid pathways — aimed at unlocking additional supply and further reducing lifecycle emissions over time.
