Ethiopian Airlines has partnered with Satarem America Inc. to produce and use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Ethiopia.

Ethiopian Airlines CEO Mesfin Tasew, says: "We are excited to partner with Satarem America Inc in our journey towards a greener and more sustainable future. The adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel is not just a business decision; it reflects our commitment to combating climate change and investing in innovative solutions that support a sustainable industry.”
