In Korea, Korea JoongAng Daily reported that energy firm GS Caltex said that it held a ceremony with Korean Air Lines at Seoul’s Incheon International Airport to commemorate the test flight using SAF.

The SAF was procured by GS Caltex from Finland’s Neste.

During the ceremony, a Korean Air cargo flight heading to Los Angeles was refueled with SAF. According to the report, there will be six test flights, twice every month, with a 2% SAF blended jet fuel.

The Korea Petroleum Quality & Distribution Authority will collect samples of the biofuels to verify their quality and safety while also analyzing performance through test flights.
