Airbus’ most popular aircraft takes to the skies with 100% sustainable aviation fuel
An A321neo took off today from Airbus’ headquarters in Toulouse, France with both of its engines powered by 100% unblended SAF. Since the end of February, the aircraft is being closely followed by a data-collecting aeroplane with the mission to gather information on the non-CO2 emissions and the creation of contrails.

The single pilot/crewmember they propose can hand pump it themselves...LOL
How much does SAF cost compared to Jet-A1? Does SAF produce the same fuel economy as Jet-A1? Don't hate me for asking, I'm asking for a friend. ;-)
Right now, SAF is about double the price of Jet A1 but the fuel economy is about the same. With further development, and particularly if there were to be a carbon tax of sorts, there could easily be price parity or an economic advantage to SAF, so many entities (airlines, Department of Defense, oil companies) are seriously looking into it.
