One big thing: Virgin Atlantic operated the first transatlantic flight using 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This exciting development shows that SAF is a viable alternative to fossil-derived jet fuel and will help decarbonize air travel.

• Zoom out: Aon joined American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) and Shell Aviation’s SAF pilot program as a first adopter. The program uses Amex GBT’s global client base to aggregate global demand for SAF. Shell Aviation will supply SAF into the aviation fuel network.

  • Recently, Aon’s SAF was injected into planes at the Los Angeles International Airport. The SAF, which was made from animal fat/beef tallow, provided a 75 percent emissions reduction compared to traditional jet fuel. This is equivalent to saving fuel from 713 flights from London to New York.
