(TAN): SAS on April 3 introduced two ticket types that include biofuel. These will be available on all SAS domestic, Scandinavian and European flights, the airline said in a news release.
Travellers buying Go Smart or Plus Pro tickets will be able to purchase these tickets with approximately 50% of biofuel included to lower the CO₂ emission of their SAS flight.
“Our journey toward a more sustainable aviation continues and by increasing the use of bio fuel we are bridging the gap to zero emission flights. We know it is important for our customers, both leisure and corporate, to actively take part in these efforts and SAS Bio will fill this demand,” said Ann-Sofie Hörlin, head of sustainability at SAS.

Go Smart Bio and Plus Pro Bio includes the cost of approximately 50% biofuel, which is calculated on an average journey, corresponding to approximately 60 minutes on Swedish or Norwegian domestic, 60 minutes within Scandinavia, 35 minutes on Danish domestic or 1.5 hours on European flights. The amount of biofuel purchased will be used to replace the equivalent amount of fossil fuel in SAS’ operations.
SAS, which guarantees that the purchase of biofuel takes place within 12 months, makes no profit from the purchase.
