Evidence for the
decisions ahead.
A focused reading room connecting aviation fuel demand, SAF adoption and the physical supply chain. Sources reviewed 11 November 2026.
SAF remains a small share of the fuel mix.
IATA forecast 2026 SAF output of about 2.4 million tonnes, equivalent to 0.8% of aviation fuel use, in its 6 June 2026 release. These are forecasts and may be revised.
Planning implication: Treat supply availability as a location-specific question rather than assuming that a global production estimate guarantees local access.

Shell’s aviation analysis discusses the role of blending infrastructure and delivery logistics. It also describes book and claim as a way to separate attributed benefits from a particular uplift location.
Planning implication: Define the physical product and the environmental claim separately in a procurement brief.

World Fuel’s aviation offering connects supply with payment tools, trip services and airport operations. Its website describes digital access to fuel and account information.
Planning implication: Consider the administrative workflow alongside unit price.

Air bp announced Jet A-1 supply and technical services at Avalon Airport in October 2024. This is a dated example, rather than confirmation of present fuel availability.
Planning implication: Ask what technical and operational support accompanies a supply arrangement.
