Emirates and ENOC Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore joint initiatives for the supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Emirates’ Dubai hub. The agreement was signed during the Dubai Airshow by Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Operating Officer, and Hussain Sultan Lootah, Acting CEO of ENOC Group.
The MoU establishes a framework for feasibility studies to assess SAF supply opportunities in Dubai, including production capabilities, infrastructure needs, and commercial viability. A joint steering committee will oversee the evaluation, aimed at developing an economically feasible and scalable SAF supply chain in the UAE.

Adel Al Redha said, “This partnership with ENOC marks an important step toward establishing a reliable SAF supply at our Dubai hub. Building sustainable fuel infrastructure is critical to decarbonizing aviation, and collaborations like this help turn ambition into practical progress.”
Hussain Sultan Lootah added, “Sustainable Aviation Fuel is key to reducing the aviation sector’s carbon footprint. This MoU reinforces our shared commitment to supporting the UAE’s target of supplying 1% of jet fuel to national airlines from locally produced SAF by 2031 and advancing the nation’s Net Zero by 2050 goal.”
As a certified drop-in fuel compatible with existing aircraft and airport systems, SAF can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. Emirates continues to drive SAF adoption globally, with demonstration flights using 100% SAF on its Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft and SAF procurement across major international airports.
The partnership underscores the UAE’s ambition to become a regional hub for alternative aviation fuels, targeting 700 million litres of local SAF production by 2030.
