The global transition to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is rapidly gaining momentum. By 2050, legislation is expected to drive SAF to comprise 75% of jet fuel use in the UK and 70% across the EU. In the USA, the Grand Challenge Roadmap outlines a target of 35 billion gallons (130 billion liters) of SAF annually.

🌱 The challenge? Airports will need to invest heavily in infrastructure to support this diverse fuel mix – SAF from biomass feedstock, synthetic SAF from captured carbon, pure hydrogen, and even electric alternatives. This shift from a single fuel type to a complex ecosystem requires forward-thinking planning.

We deliver accurate forecasts and flight-by-flight design schedules for any time horizon, enabling airports to anticipate aircraft movements and their specific fuel needs.

On 2 August, All Nippon Airways resumed its flights from Vienna Airport to Tokyo Haneda after a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This exciting development inspired us at BEONTRA to analyze the latest O&D market size from Vienna to the top 10 destinations in Japan and to compare them to the 2019 level. 📊

Our analysis reveals that there is still significant catch-up potential for most markets. For instance, the market size from Vienna to Haneda (HND) is currently 46% below 2019 levels. However, with ANA’s capacity increase to Japan, we anticipate a swift recovery in these numbers. 📈

Meanwhile, for Vienna to Narita, where Austrian Airlines offers a seasonal non-stop service, the market size has already exceeded the 2019 level – a positive sign of recovery and growth! 🌸
