the airínea Emirates realizedó the first demonstration flightón of one A380 with aviation fuelón sustainable SAF al 100% during your flight.
Emirates has become the first aerolífirst in the world to operate a demonstration flightón of one A380 using aviation fuelón sustainable (PURE) al 100%. Today's flight, proudly commanded by captainán Khalid Binsultan and the captainán Philippe Lombet, took offó from Dubai International Airportái (DXB) with one of the four motors powered by PURE al 100%, which helps demonstrate its potential as a direct substitute that meets the requirements técynics and whatíjet fuel mics, at the same time it is an alternative más sustainable. The PURE can reduce carbon emissions by up to 85%* in the fuel life cycle compared toón with conventional jet fuel.
First A380 100% with SAF
Demonstration flightsón like the one carried out today pave the way for future normalizationón, qualifyón y adoptionón of the flight with PURE al 100%, As governments adopt más ample to support productionón and the increase in the scale of the SAF. The demonstration flightón of the A380 underlines the performance and compatibility of the SAF, convertedéusing it in a safe and reliable fuel source, and contributes to the growing body of researchón conducted by industry to evaluate the beneficial effects of SAF on 100% in aircraft performance. Currently, the PURE has a límixing mite 50% in commercial flight engines.
The demonstration flightón of the A380 from Emirates It comes at a time when the aviation industryón, international organizations, regulatory bodies and high-level officials who drive political decisionsítics are reúof the Dubái for the Third Conference of the Organizationón of Aviationón Civil International (OACI) about Aviacón and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/3).

El SAF 100% drop-in used in today's flight includes aromárenewable materials and closely imitates the characteristicsístatics of conventional jet fuel. This is the first time SAF drop-in has been used in an avión Airbus A380, with the expectation of full compatibility across all existing aircraft systems. The transport flightó four tons of SAF, composed of HEFA-SPK provided by Neste (I am paraffinéethics of éSteres and áHydroprocessed fatty acids) y HDO-SAK from Virent (aroma keroseneálet them beédeoxygenated attic). ENOCó to ensure pure SAF composed of HEFA-SPK, and mixed itó with Kerosene from Aviación Sustainable (THING) en su installationón at Dub International Airportái before the demonstrationón, and alsoén madeó services in the avión.

Last week, Extensive engine testing was carried out on one of the A380's Engine Alliance GP7200 engines using SAF at 100%, with the aim of validating the engine's ability to operate with the special SAF 100% drop-in without affecting performance or requiring modifications. Ground engine testing was carried out at the state-of-the-art Engineering Centería from Emirates in Dubái.
At the beginning of thisñO, Emirates completelyó with éfirst demonstration flight successfulón con SAF al 100% from the kingsón on a Boeing 777-300ER powered by GE90.
Last month, First Emirates flights operating with SAF provided by Shell Aviation take off from Dub International Airportái (DXB). Shell suministró 315.000 gallons of SAF mixed for use in the Aerol Operations Centerínever and Dubái.
the airínew ampó recently his associationón with Neste for the supply of más de 3 million gallons of PURE mixed in 2024 and 2025 for flights departing from airports in ÁAmsterdam-Schiphol and Singapore-Changi.
