• Support the market introduction of synthetic aviation fuels produced by Synhelion
• Long-term offtake agreement provides Synhelion with planning security to scale its technology
Kuehne+Nagel, one of the world’s leading logistics providers, and Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), Switzerland’s premium airline, are strengthening their strategic partnership to drive more sustainable aviation. With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, both companies will collaborate on sustainability projects, with a particular focus on innovative technologies to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
The partnership centres on a shared commitment to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced by Synhelion, a Swiss cleantech pioneer that converts sunlight into renewable synthetic fuels like solar jet fuel. To support scaling this technology, Kuehne+Nagel, SWISS, and its air freight division Swiss WorldCargo, have agreed on a long-term offtake agreement of SAF that provides Synhelion with planning security and drives innovation in the sector. This commitment provides producers such as Synhelion with the certainty needed to expand their output and advance new technologies.
Starting in 2027, Kuehne+Nagel will purchase Synhelion SAF from SWISS under a five-year agreement for its cargo shipments by Swiss WorldCargo. This reinforces its commitment to decarbonising logistics and offers customers the opportunity to reduce their CO₂ footprint. (....)
