New SAF Agreements with Qantas, Alaska Airlines and DHL Advance Industry Progress

As demand for lower-carbon aviation solutions grows, Phillips 66® Aviation is strengthening its role as a leading supplier of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Recent agreements with Qantas Airways, Alaska Airlines and DHL Express demonstrate the company’s expanding reach and its commitment to helping customers advance their decarbonization goals.

Fueling Global Connectivity with Qantas & Alaska Airlines

Phillips 66 has committed to supplying SAF in the United States to both Qantas Airways and Alaska Airlines, expanding its growing portfolio of international airline customers that also includes British Airways and United Airlines. Since launching U.S. SAF supply in late 2024, the company has delivered product to major hubs including Chicago O’Hare, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The company’s integrated model, which brings together refining, logistics and global commercial operations, provides feedstock flexibility and dependable delivery. This approach is increasingly important as recent U.S. policy changes reshape SAF incentives and influence sourcing across global feedstock markets.

To support airlines navigating this shifting environment, Phillips 66 partnered with Chooose to introduce a book-and-claim system. This digital platform simplifies SAF procurement and environmental documentation, allowing airlines to claim emissions reductions even when the fuel is not physically delivered to their specific airport.

Powering Cargo Decarbonization with DHL Express

Phillips 66 recently secured one of the largest U.S. air cargo SAF agreements through a multiyear deal with DHL Express. Over three years, the company will supply more than 240,000 metric tons of SAF, a volume expected to reduce approximately 737,000 metric tons of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional jet fuel.

This milestone demonstrates Phillips 66’s ability to serve both passenger and cargo carriers with consistent, lower-carbon fuel solutions. It also builds on a year of significant customer achievements, reinforcing the company’s position at the forefront of SAF supply and development.

Looking Ahead

With nearly 100 years of aviation experience, a commercial network serving more than 80 countries and leading SAF production assets at the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex and the Humber Refinery, Phillips 66 is well positioned to support the scale-up of renewable fuels. Continued collaboration across airlines, cargo operators, technology partners and policymakers will be essential to advancing SAF adoption and long-term decarbonization.

Phillips 66 remains committed to driving industrywide progress and delivering dependable energy solutions that support the next century of aviation.
