Cathay Cargo has signed a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) partnership deal with DB Schenker.
In July, DB Schenker became the largest contributor to Cathay Pacific’s corporate SAF programme and committed to buying 878 tonnes of SAF from the airline as part of its largest deal to date. The investment is anticipated to help reduce more than 2,600 tonnes in carbon emissions.
The signing ceremony, attended by Tom Owen, Cathay Director Cargo and Susanne Stemmer, DB Schenker Vice President, Global Carrier Relations, was held to mark the global forwarder’s membership of Cathay’s SAF programme.

“We are very excited about this collaboration with Cathay Cargo, which will contribute to a more sustainable future for our industry and enhance our long-lasting global partnership with Cathay,” remarked Stemmer.
“SAF is making change possible already today. Our new SAF alliance with Cathay Cargo enhances our sustainability commitment and leadership in the skies,” stated Alexander Mentgen, Manager, Global Airfreight Sustainability, DB Schenker.
