Luxaviation, Haffner Energy expand SAF partnership

Biomass-to-clean fuels solutions provider Haffner Energy said it is further strengthening its partnership with private aircraft operator Luxaviation Group on the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The partnership will include a non-exclusive 15-year offtake agreement in Europe with fixed SAF volume and price terms.

“For Luxaviation, securing long term SAF supply is not only an investment in our operations – it is a commitment to our clients and to the industry’s future. Together with Haffner Energy, we are setting the benchmark for how business aviation can accelerate the scale-up of sustainable fuel production across Europe, establishing a new standard for our industry,” said Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group.

Luxaviation operates one of the largest fleets of private aircraft worldwide and has dedicated decarbonisation strategy including fuel efficiency, increasing SAF use and electrification of ground operations.

“Securing long-term offtake agreements is one of the most crucial conditions for financing SAF production facilities, as they guarantee the purchase of SAF at a stable price over periods exceeding five years,” said Haffner Energy cofounder and CEO Philippe Haffner.
