EASA has published a new Safety Information Bulletin for risks associated with the use of sustainable fuels (SAF) that do not comply with the proper quality criteria.
This is due to growing demand along with potential for fraudulent business practices trying to take advantage of higher prices.
Any uplift of ‘out-of -spec’ fuel could cause serious safety concerns. EASA’s advice to operators is to make sure your suppliers comply with the correct standards listed in their bulletin, and to be especially wary of new entrants to the market.
