DHL Group and IAG Cargo announced an expanded multi-year partnership to increase the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in air freight operations.

The new five-year agreement, combined with a prior 2025 renewal, will enable the use of around 240 million liters of SAF at London Heathrow, supporting DHL Express cargo transported on British Airways flights.

The initiative is expected to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 640,000 tonnes of CO₂e, with potential total reductions exceeding 1 million tonnes when including broader group agreements.

The SAF used—derived from sources such as used cooking oil—can reduce lifecycle emissions by about 90% compared to conventional jet fuel, although it remains significantly more expensive and limited in supply.

Overall, the partnership strengthens DHL’s long-term sustainability strategy, supporting its goal of reaching 30% SAF usage in air transport by 2030 and highlighting growing industry collaboration to decarbonize aviation logistics.
