Luxaviation joins Project SkyPower to drive aviation’s transition to eSAF

Luxaviation Group, one of the world’s largest business aircraft and helicopter operators headquartered in Luxembourg, joined Project SkyPower in March.

Project SkyPower is an international CEO-led initiative dedicated to accelerating the development and adoption of electro sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF).

According to Luxaviation, this strategic milestone reinforces its longstanding commitment to fostering a more sustainable future for aviation.

Project SkyPower brings together leading actors from across the aviation ecosystem including operators, manufacturers, energy producers and policymakers to scale the production and infrastructure of eSAF.

With a focus on electrofuels derived from renewable electricity, the initiative aims to address the environmental and energy-transition challenges the aviation sector faces today.

“Project SkyPower represents the type of collaborative, progressive platform our industry needs,” said Patrick Hansen, the CEO of Luxaviation Group.

“Luxaviation’s engagement in the initiative underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship and industry innovation, as well as our active role in shaping the future ecosystem for electro sustainable aviation fuels,” Hansen said.

Luxaviation’s participation as an active member of Project SkyPower provides the group with an opportunity to engage in strategic discussions that will help shape the regulatory and industrial framework of electro sustainable fuels.

Furthermore, this involvement enables Luxaviation to remain actively aligned with policy and technology developments in the eSAF landscape.

“eSAF has the potential to reduce lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 90 percent compared to conventional jet fuel, placing it as a critical component in the journey to net zero,” said Nicola-Jane Sellers, Luxaviation’s head of sustainability.

“Through our participation in SkyPower, we aim to advocate for and actively contribute to the aviation industry’s transition to electro sustainable fuel while embedding impactful and innovative decarbonization pathways throughout our operations,” Sellers said.

Eric Colussi, SAF project director at Luxaviation Group, added, “SkyPower is a forum for shared vision and collective impact. Collaboration with peer contributors across the fuel, finance and regulatory domains is essential to enabling the scale-up of eSAF and ensuring its commercial viability.”

Project SkyPower is expected to advance the broader industry by influencing technology development and supporting regulatory frameworks that will facilitate commercialization of eSAF within this decade.
