📈 SkyNRG and ICF Release Key Report on the Future of SAF to 2025

June 06 2025

Amsterdam, June 2025 – Leading sustainable aviation fuels company SkyNRG has released its fifth SAF Market Outlook, in collaboration with ICF, highlighting that global SAF demand could triple by 2035, far exceeding projected production capacity, especially from the currently dominant HEFA route.

The report warns of a 26 million tonne shortfall between projected supply and future demand, driven by mandates in Europe and the UK and commitments from more than 60 airlines. It urges diversification of technologies and feedstocks, as 82% of production currently relies on limited HEFA.

✈ British Airways drives cheaper and greener flights thanks to $3.5 billion early SAF investment.

June 06 2025 

London, United Kingdom — June 2025
British Airways is beginning to reap the rewards of IAG’s $3.5 billion investment in sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Thanks to this early strategy, the airline has managed to secure SAF at less than 60% of the current market price, a significant advantage over its competitors in an environment marked by rising operating costs.

This strategic position allows British Airways not only to reduce its carbon footprint but also to offer more profitable and sustainable flights, strengthening its proposition to customers who are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their travel choices.

On the production side, companies like NXTClean Fuels are focused on laying the foundation for long-term value in the SAF ecosystem. With business models designed to accelerate the aviation industry’s climate progress, NXTClean strengthens the transition to truly low-carbon aviation.

British Airways thus demonstrates that early investment in sustainability is not just an environmental commitment, but a real operational advantage in the global aviation market.

Electra.aero's EL2 Hybrid-Electric Prototype Returns to Flight After First Major Modification

June 05 2025

Electra Aero has announced the return of the EL2 Goldfinch, its two-seat hybrid-electric prototype, after completing its first intensive maintenance cycle and a major systems upgrade. This advancement represents a key step toward a new category of air transportation that connects people and places like never before.

Since its first flight in November 2023, the EL2 has undergone 14 months of flight testing, gathering critical data for the development of its successor: the EL9, a nine-passenger production aircraft.

Now, with an improved configuration, the EL2 has resumed flights to expand its test envelope, refine the design, and validate the EL9’s innovative UltraShortTakeoff capabilities.

Wisk and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Sign Five-Year Research Agreement to Advance Autonomous Flight

June 04 2025

Just days ago, Wisk announced the signing of a new five-year Nonrefundable Space Act Agreement (NRSAA) with NASA. This agreement focuses on critical research led by NASA’s Air Traffic Management Exploration (ATM-X) project, which aims to develop autonomous aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) in the National Airspace System.

Since 2020, Wisk and NASA have collaborated to develop key guidelines for the safe integration of autonomous aircraft systems for UAM operations, under an initial Space Act Agreement. This expanded collaboration will focus on research using advanced simulation and Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) flight environments, which combine live flights with simulated airspace so researchers can evaluate future operations.
