-- Bangkok Airways Public Company Limited and PTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limited or OR have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for cooperation in using Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) produced domestically for the first time in Thailand. The sustainable fuel will be used for Bangkok Airways flight operations, addressing the sustainability goals of both companies while driving Thailand's aviation industry toward an environmentally friendly future.
The signing ceremony attended by Mr. Dechit Chareonwong, Senior Executive Vice President of Operations at Bangkok Airways, and Mr. Chaipruet Watchareekhup, Aviation and Marine Marketing Manager at OR jointly signed the LOI at Bangkok Airways' headquarters on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road.
Mr. Dechit Chareonwong revealed that this marks another significant step for Bangkok Airways in collaboration with OR to elevate Thailand's aviation industry toward a green flight path by using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) produced domestically for the first time in Thailand. The airline continues to advance its "Low Carbon Skies by Bangkok Airways" campaign, which aims to reduce carbon emissions across all business operations. This integrated cooperation will lead to promoting and preparing for the use of biofuels in Thailand's aviation industry in the future, responding to the sustainable trend in Thailand's aviation business. This aligns with the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Mr. Chaipruet Watchareekhup revealed that this collaboration with Bangkok Airways represents a joining of forces between OR, as Thailand's leading aviation fuel distributor, and Bangkok Airways, as a leading airline, in using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) produced by a domestic manufacturer for the first time. The producer is PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited or GC, which has developed innovative products and sustainable technology for SAF blending through the Co-Processing method—used for the first time in the aviation industry to support Thailand's future SAF implementation policies. OR is proud to be part of this important collaboration and is committed to supporting Thailand's aviation industry toward sustainability by supplying SAF to Bangkok Airways. This marks a significant step in elevating Thailand's aviation industry standards toward environmental friendliness and aligns with OR's business concept of supporting Thailand's goal of achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065.
This signing or LOI demonstrates a commitment to prioritizing sustainable practices in Thailand's aviation industry and reflects the collaboration of industry leaders to address climate change challenges and environmental impacts. It also marks another important starting point for clean energy development in Thailand's aviation industry.
