European airlines call for suspension of synthetic fuel mandate

BRUSSELS, March ​19 (Reuters) - ⁠European airlines ​on Thursday urged the European ​Union ‌to postpone ⁠new rules that would ⁠force airlines ​to use a certain amount of ​synthetic ‌green jet fuel, or eSAF, from 2030.

"We ​are calling for ‌the eSAF mandate to be ‌postponed until eSAF is actually available," easyJet CEO ​Kenton Jarvis told a news ‌conference. Reuters earlier reported the ⁠move, ⁠which follows in ‌the footsteps of the ​car ​industry. (Reporting ‌by Joanna Plucinska and Tim Hepher; Editing by Alison Williams)
