(TAN): SAS has begun rewarding its EuroBonus members with 500 EuroBonus extra points for every 20-minute biofuel block they buy, the airline said in a statement.
Since 2019, travellers flying with SAS can voluntarily choose to buy biofuel. To increase the use of sustainable aviation fuels, such as biofuel, is an important step to reduce climate-impacting carbon emissions when flying and SAS will now reward EuroBonus members with extra points when adding biofuel.

Sustainable aviation fuels, such as biofuel, reduce CO2 emissions in the lifecycle with up to 80%. All SAS travellers can already purchase biofuel when booking, by adding 20-minute blocks of biofuel.
“Through making it more beneficial to buy biofuel with your booking, SAS wants to increase the usage of this non-profit service. Sustainable aviation fuels are a bridge toward zero-emission aviation and SAS works to pioneer a more large-scale and commercial production and supply,” says SAS Chief Commercial Officer Karl Sandlund.
SAS aims to be the global leader in sustainable aviation and works hard to cut emissions. This is achieved for example with modern and fuel-efficient aircraft, and by using more sustainable aviation fuels.

Compared to fossil fuels, sustainable aviation fuels, like biofuel, dramatically reduce the climate-impacting CO2 emissions in the lifecycle. Additionally, SAS continues to carbon offset all EuroBonus members’ flights with SAS, free of charge.
