DHL Express Malaysia has collaborated with Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) to incorporate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into its international air cargo network. The initiative is part of DHL's GoGreen Plus service, which allows customers to reduce the lifecycle carbon emissions of their shipments by investing in SAF. The partnership aims to lower approximately 300 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions in 2026.
Julian Neo, Managing Director of DHL Express Malaysia and Brunei, emphasized SAF's role as a vital lower-carbon alternative for long-distance aviation. MAG, with operations since 2021 involving SAF-powered flights, is expanding efforts to develop sustainable fuel pathways across its passenger and cargo services. This includes exploring local SAF production and establishing regional supply chain readiness, particularly in Malaysia.
Supporting Sustainability and Industry Innovation
The collaboration supports MAG's broader sustainability goals, addressing both operational and ecosystem development challenges. Market-based solutions like the book-and-claim mechanism facilitate SAF adoption beyond regulatory mandates, helping the aviation industry meet its net-zero target by 2050. Both organizations continue to work together on infrastructure, supply chain, and operational initiatives to advance low-carbon aviation.
This partnership reflects a growing commitment within the aviation sector to utilize sustainable fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, paving the way for environmentally responsible logistics and transportation solutions in Malaysia and globally.
