DHL is “first express cargo carrier” to use SAF at Paris CDG Airport

DHL Express has signed a fuel deal that will enable it to become the first express cargo carrier to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport.

The one-year partnership with TotalEnergies covers 5m litres of SAF over the course of one year to fuel aircraft departing from the DHL Express hub at Paris CDG to the company’s air hubs in Leipzig, Casablanca, Milan, and London.

DHL said the first DHL aircraft powered with SAF at CDG took off on 9 November.

As well as becoming the first express cargo carrier to use SAF at Paris CDG, this is also the first time SAF will be used by DHL Express in France altogether.
