SOCAR Türkiye, a major energy player, and Pegasus Airlines have formally entered into a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). By combining their respective expertise in energy production and commercial aviation, the two organizations seek to lower the carbon footprint of regional air travel and support the broader energy transition in Turkey.

According to SAF News, this partnership represents a critical step in building a local supply chain for sustainable fuels. As international aviation regulations tighten, the push for greener alternatives to conventional jet fuel has become a priority for carriers looking to meet net-zero emissions targets. The collaboration leverages SOCAR’s technical infrastructure and Pegasus’s operational network to test and scale the integration of bio-based fuels into daily flight operations.

The venture is expected to stimulate regional investment in green energy technology while providing the airline industry with a more predictable and locally sourced fuel supply. Both companies view this alignment as a cornerstone of their long-term environmental strategy, setting the stage for future initiatives that could further reduce reliance on traditional fossil-based aviation products.
