2025: SAF Mandates Reshape European Aviation Compliance

In 2025, ReFuelEU Aviation mandates require aircraft operators to refuel at least 90% of annual needs at Union airports, with major airports (800,000+ passengers or 100,000+ tons freight) facilitating SAF access. SAF suppliers must meet minimum quotas or face penalties, driving urgent compliance across the sector.
