DHL buys 7,400 tonnes of made-in-Singapore sustainable aviation fuel

This is DHL’s first SAF purchase for international flights from Changi Airport.

DHL Express and Neste signed a landmark deal to purchase made-in-Singapore sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for international flights.

From July 2025 to June 2026, an estimated 7,400 tonnes (9.5 million litres) of Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel will be supplied to DHL in Singapore.

The deal is one of the largest SAF deals for air cargo in Asia in terms of volume.

The contract indicates that Neste will supply DHL with CORSIA-eligible 1 SAF produced locally at its refinery in Singapore, the world’s largest SAF production facility, for one year.

The SAF will account for about 35-40% of the overall fuel usage of DHL’s five Boeing 777 freighters based at the South Asia Hub located at Changi Airport.

This is also DHL’s first direct procurement of SAF for flights going out of Changi Airport.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
