In 2025, Cathay Pacific's Corporate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Programme achieved record growth, with commitments from 17 global partners totaling 17,400 tonnes, marking a 180% increase from 2024. This commitment is projected to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by about 54,600 tonnes.

New partner Microsoft joined the initiative, while Kuehne + Nagel remained the largest cargo contributor. The programme was supported by key suppliers such as Neste and Shell Aviation. Cathay also made strategic investments in SAF production and launched a platform for individual contributions to aviation decarbonisation. The airline's CEO emphasized the importance of collaboration and supportive policies for scaling SAF use towards the industry's 2050 net-zero target.
