DHL scales SAF use across global air cargo network as supply constraints remain

DHL is expanding the use of sustainable aviation fuel across its global air operations, treating SAF as an operating input rather than a future pilot project.

In 2025, DHL used 185 kilotons of SAF in its own air fleet, reaching a 10% SAF share and reducing emissions by approximately 775,000 tonnes of CO₂e across owned and subcontracted air operations.

The company now deploys SAF across 17 airports in Europe, Asia, and North America, including Leipzig, Amsterdam, London Heathrow, Singapore, Tokyo Narita, Los Angeles, and New York JFK.

The challenge remains scaling. SAF represented only 0.6% of global aviation fuel supply in 2025, making long-term offtake agreements and demand certainty critical to unlocking new production capacity.

DHL’s approach shows how logistics operators can help make SAF projects bankable by creating stable demand across multi-regional aviation networks.

Cape Town leads Africa’s top airport ranking as service quality becomes a competitive factor

Cape Town International Airport has been ranked Africa’s leading airport in the latest Skytrax-based ranking, ahead of Johannesburg OR Tambo, Durban King Shaka, Marrakech, and Casablanca.

South African and Moroccan airports dominate the top five, reflecting sustained investment in passenger experience, operational efficiency, and infrastructure quality.

The ranking also highlights the role of key hubs such as Addis Ababa, Kigali, Mauritius, Cairo, and Antananarivo, each supporting different parts of Africa’s aviation network, from tourism flows to regional and intercontinental connectivity.

As African aviation expands, airport competitiveness is increasingly shaped not only by location or traffic volume, but by service standards, processing efficiency, and the ability to support airline growth.

Côte d’Ivoire has approved a 25% reduction in passenger and security charges on ECOWAS regional flights, aligning with wider efforts to harmonise aviation taxes across West Africa.

The reform follows an ECOWAS directive aimed at reducing selected air transport taxes and lowering passenger-related charges across member states from 2026.

The measure is intended to reduce ticket prices, support passenger growth, and improve the competitiveness of Air Côte d’Ivoire and the country’s airports.

High taxes and charges remain one of the key structural barriers to intra-African air travel, often making regional flights disproportionately expensive relative to distance.

By moving early on implementation, Côte d’Ivoire positions itself among the first ECOWAS markets to translate regional aviation cost reform into national policy.

IATA urges African governments to treat aviation as long-term economic infrastructure

IATA has called on African governments to prioritise aviation as a strategic driver of economic development, regional integration, trade, and tourism.

The organisation highlights four key areas for policy action: safety, cost competitiveness, ease of doing business, and energy security.

Safety has improved, with Africa’s accident rate declining from 12.13 to 7.86 per million sectors between 2024 and 2025, but it remains above the global average of 1.32. IATA is calling for stronger implementation of ICAO standards, improved accident reporting, and wider use of global safety audits.

Cost remains another structural barrier. Taxes and charges in Africa are estimated to be around 15% higher than the global average, while blocked airline funds reached $774 million by the end of March 2026.

IATA also pointed to SAF and climate finance as long-term opportunities, with Sub-Saharan Africa potentially able to supply up to 106 million tonnes of SAF-suitable feedstock by 2050.

The message is clear: aviation growth in Africa depends not only on demand, but on policy ex*****on, cost reform, and investment conditions.

Namibia Airports Company is progressing plans to expand Hosea Kutako International Airport, with preliminary cost estimates ranging from N$4 billion to N$5 billion.

The project remains at the feasibility stage and centres on the development of a new passenger terminal, with construction targeted for completion by 2030.

Passenger growth projections indicate that the current terminal could face congestion by 2029–2030, underscoring the need for additional capacity at Namibia’s main international gateway.

Hosea Kutako remains the country’s dominant airport, accounting for 78.4% of total passenger movement, ahead of Walvis Bay International and Eros Airport.

The expansion is positioned to support tourism growth, regional connectivity, and increased business travel as Namibia prepares for higher passenger and industrial activity.

Ryanair warns high energy costs could intensify pressure on European airlines

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has warned that some European airlines could face bankruptcy if energy prices remain elevated and fuel supply uncertainty persists into the autumn.

The airline has suspended its full-year financial guidance due to market uncertainty, noting that summer fares remain flat despite strong passenger demand.

The core pressure is margin compression: operating costs are rising, but airlines may not be able to fully pass those increases on to consumers as inflation concerns affect spending behaviour.

The warning reflects a wider risk across Europe’s aviation market, where high fuel costs, cautious demand, and limited pricing power could place weaker carriers under growing financial strain.

Aviation sustainability shifts from public commitments to operational efficiency

The climate narrative has weakened across business and technology sectors, with fewer public commitments and reduced investor attention to sustainability-focused themes.

A similar pattern is now visible in aviation, where some airlines have softened or removed interim climate targets, including SAF usage milestones and net-zero language.

However, operational data shows a more complex picture. Between 2019 and 2025, global airline capacity increased by 14%, while CO₂ emissions rose by only 2%, indicating material efficiency gains across the fleet.

This improvement is largely driven by newer, more fuel-efficient aircraft entering service, supported by better utilisation and network optimisation.

At the same time, higher conventional jet fuel prices are narrowing the cost gap with SAF, potentially improving the economics of adopting sustainable fuel.

The shift suggests that aviation sustainability is moving away from headline commitments and toward measurable efficiency, fuel economics, and technology deployment.
