Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. has welcomed the findings and recommendations of a study conducted by Peking University's National School of Development, which focuses on accelerating the development of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) ecosystem in China. The study, released in late 2025, proposes a multi-faceted approach to expanding the national SAF industry, including policy integration, stimulating market demand, expanding international market access, and establishing procurement mechanisms to ensure stable supply and demand. The report suggests that with sufficient policy support, locally produced SAF, particularly through the Power-to-Liquid (PtL) pathway, could reach cost parity with conventional jet fuel when cumulative output reaches 1.6 million tonnes. Cathay Pacific has previously supported SAF development in the Chinese Mainland and has utilized Chinese-made SAF at several international airports.
