Ethiopian Airlines Marks a New Era of Eco-Friendly Travel with Satarem Partnership
Ethiopian Airlines Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Satarem America Inc. to partner on the production and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Ethiopia. This strategic partnership solidifies Ethiopian Airlines’ commitment to sustainability and marks a significant step towards a more environmentally friendly future.
The MoU with Satarem America Inc., a leading provider of sustainable energy solutions, will enable Ethiopian Airlines to incorporate SAF into its operations.

The adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel is not just a business decision; it reflects our commitment to combating climate change and investing in innovative solutions that support a sustainable industry.”
This partnership reaffirms Ethiopian Airlines’ position as a pioneer in adopting eco-friendly aviation solutions. The airline has implemented various initiatives, including fleet modernization, optimized flight operations, tree planting, and extensive recycling programs to minimize waste and emissions. The integration of SAF into its operations will further enhance these efforts, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with air travel.
As one of Africa’s largest and most experienced airlines, Ethiopian Airlines has long been at the forefront of sustainability. This new partnership with Satarem America Inc. demonstrates the airline’s continued commitment to maintaining high standards of environmental performance and contributing to the broader sustainability goals of the aviation industry.
