Delta and JTB-CWT Sign First Travel Management Sustainable Fuel Agreement in Japan
Delta Air Lines, Inc., and JTB Business Travel Solutions, Inc., (head office: Koto-ku, Tokyo; president &CEO: Masamitsu Shibuya; hereinafter “JTB-CWT”) have signed an agreement on sustainable aviation fuel(SAF). Delta Air Lines is pursuing collaboration with corporate customers to introduce SAF, and it is thefirst time that the Japanese Travel Management Company (TMC) has participated in the collaboration.
This agreement aims to contribute to the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions associated with businesstrips by employees of JTB-CWT’s contract companies, as well as to achieve the sustainable developmentof the travel industry as a whole.
This SAF agreement is based on the common concept of offsetting carbon dioxide emissions from flights
used by companies for their employees’ business trips. This SAF agreement, with the aim of reducing theaviation industry’s reliance on traditional jet fuel, encourages the travel industry to invest in the SAF
market by creating supply and demand for SAF.
Victor Osumi, president of Delta Air Lines Japan, said: “A strong partnership in sustainability will drive
the entire travel industry towards a more environmentally friendly future. We are thankful to JTB BusinessTravel Solutions for participating in our SAF agreement as the first Japanese TMC. We expect that thispartnership will allow more Japanese companies to participate in collaborations to build a sustainablefuture.”
Masamitsu Shibuya, president & CEO of JTB-CWT, said: “Sustainability initiatives are the urgent issue
for the travel industry as well, and we, who among others are entrusted with the business travel of manyclient companies, have a responsibility to take the initiative in such meaningful activities. We, sharing
Delta’s purpose, continue to support important initiatives that will lead to the future and contribute to
the development of a sustainable society through a strong partnership with Delta.”
SAF is an extremely important tool for reducing carbon emissions during the life cycle of aviation fuel.
At high purity, SAF can reduce carbon dioxide emissions during its life cycle from the production toutilization of aviation fuel by up to 80% compared to petroleum-based jet fuel. Thus, SAF plays a key
element in Delta’s carbon-neutral efforts.
