Pertamina is pushing for SAF to be adopted for commercial flights, after it successfully flew military aircraft type CN 250 using SAF in 2021, it added in the statement.

This came days after the state-owned energy company Pertamina had successfully conducted static tests of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on the same engine type to ensure commercial feasibility, it said in a statement July 29, adding that the next testing phase includes the ground and flight tests.

Following that, the ground and flight tests will be conducted later in August, Indonesia's energy ministry said. The fuel blend – which contains 2.4% palm oil – is being tested on CFM56-7B engines.
