The airline began using sustainable blends at Los Angeles International Airport in 2016 and Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport in 2022.
United Airlines’ departing flights out of San Francisco International Airport will now run on sustainable aviation fuel, a biofuel similar to traditional jet fuel but carries a smaller carbon footprint, the airline announced Thursday.
According to the United States Department of Energy, sustainable aviation fuel can be produced using a variety of biomass and waste resources, including corn grain, fats, oils, and grease. Sustainable fuels used on United flights are paid in part through the airline's Eco-Skies Alliance program, which lets participating corporations split the cost associated with buying lower-emission fuels.
