Malaysia Aviation Group reduced carbon emissions by over 103,000 tonnes in 2025. This was achieved by replacing older planes with more efficient Airbus A330neo and Boeing 737-8 aircraft, alongside improved flight planning and route optimization. The group also began integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through a pilot program on the Kuala Lumpur to London route and a 2% SAF blend for flights departing from Europe and the UK to meet regional regulations.

MAG cut 103k tonnes of CO2 by swapping old planes for A330neos and 737-8s. They also started using SAF on the KL to London run. Good to see fleet renewal actually hitting the numbers.

The 2% SAF blend in Europe is the interesting part. It is less about voluntary green goals and more about complying with EU mandates. The real test is how they scale that without passing all the costs to passengers.

Fleet renewal is a standard win, but I wonder about the SAF supply chain in Malaysia. A pilot project is fine, but do they have the local production capacity to move past a 2% blend?
