Tahiti, September 2025. ATOBA Energy and Air Moana announced the signing of a strategic partnership to boost the availability and supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in French Polynesia, consolidating a decisive step toward the decarbonization of aviation in the Pacific region.

The partnership contemplates building a resilient and competitive SAF supply chain, aligned with Air Moana’s sustainability goals for the 2026-2035 period. The strategy will combine the “book and claim” model with physical deliveries of sustainable fuel.

The collaboration also seeks to support the national SAF roadmap in French Polynesia, contributing ATOBA’s expertise in production technologies, market analysis, and implementation strategies. As part of the agreement, Air Moana plans to establish a 10-year supply contract to progressively increase the use of SAF, in line with the European sustainable fuel mandate.

Lionel Guérin, CEO of Air Moana, emphasized that this project reflects the airline’s long-term vision and commitment to leading the sustainable transition in the Pacific. Air Moana thus becomes the first airline based in the region and the first ATR operator to pursue such an initiative.
