Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is offering corporate
customers who regularly travel to the same destination and want
fossil free fuel, with a punch card that covers their flights.

Named Travel Pass Biofuel, customers get a
discounted, prepaid punch card where 100% biofuel is always
included, helping them to reduce the environmental impact of their flights.

“SAS has ambitious sustainability targets and is
committed to increase the use of sustainable aviation fuels, such

from traveling by air,” said Markus Ek, VP Global
Sales, SAS. “We now welcome our customers on board the journey
towards a more sustainable future for aviation by making it
possible to buy Travel Pass Biofuel. This is perfect for customers
who want to make their flying more sustainable.”

The biofuel contributed by SAS’ customers
