FedEx offtakes SAF at Dallas Fort Worth, New York–JFK airports

FedEx said it has introduced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at two more US airports towards the end of last year including Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

With the addition of these two airports, FedEx now uses blended SAF at a total of five major U.S. airports in 2025.

Combined, these agreements secure the equivalent of 5m gallons of neat SAF.

“Expanding SAF use by FedEx to include our operations at DFW and JFK caps off a successful year of SAF deployments coast-to-coast,” said Karen Blanks Ellis, chief sustainability officer and vice president of Environmental Affairs, FedEx. “While we know there remains work ahead to procure more SAF and to continue to educate our stakeholders about how alternative fuels fit into our overall aviation sustainability strategy, we are proud of our steps forward in 2025.”

Through an agreement with fuel provider World Fuel Services (WFS), FedEx will receive a total of 2m neat gallons of SAF across the two airports, to be delivered as a minimum 30% blend.

With the fuel deliveries to DFW that began in December 2025, FedEx became the first airline – cargo or passenger – to begin purchasing SAF at that airport outside of a pilot project.

“World Fuel is committed to expanding the availability of SAF and meeting the sustainability needs of our customers,” said Bradley Hurwitz, senior vice president, Supply & Trading at World Fuel.
