Sydney Airport Study Reveals Strong Public Support For SAF Development

A study commissioned by Sydney Airport has found that Australians strongly support the development of a domestic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) industry, citing benefits such as job creation, support for farmers, and improved fuel security. The research, which surveyed public awareness and attitudes towards SAF, revealed that nearly 70% of Australians support the use of SAF, with the majority willing to contribute to its development. Sydney Airport CEO Scott Charlton emphasized the opportunity for Australia to develop a new regional industry focused on SAF, which could reduce aviation emissions and strengthen fuel security. The study was published on March 12, 2026, and reported by AeroTime.
