The largest US airlines — United, Southwest and American Airlines — appeared to be quietly backing away from sustainability pledges and support for the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in their quarterly and annual financial reports filed over the past few weeks, with some citing the new US presidential administration as the reason.
Additionally, all major US airlines reported lower per-gallon fuel costs and average jet fuel prices in 2024 that were close to the reported decrease in average annual fuel costs published by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). This suggests that annual SAF usage in 2024 did not significantly increase — and may have decreased — from 2023.
The only major US airline to continue to show strong support for the use of SAF in its annual statements was JetBlue Airlines, which filed its report on Friday February 14.
