Akasa Air and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) have signed a memorandum of understanding to promote the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in India. The deal sets up a framework for supplying and buying SAF-blended Aviation Turbine Fuel at selected airports across the country. The partnership includes sharing demand forecasts, supporting production planning, and gradually increasing SAF blending as supply grows. Akasa Air already uses Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and a fuel management platform called SkyBreathe to cut emissions. This move aligns with India's decarbonization targets and international aviation rules like ICAO's CORSIA scheme.
