Menzies Aviation has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FlyORO Technologies to help expand the availability and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) across airport networks.
The partnership will combine Menzies’ fuel handling experience and its presence at more than 16 European airports with FlyORO’s AlphaLite™ blending technology to improve how SAF is stored, mixed and delivered at or near airports.
The goal is to make SAF more accessible, while ensuring operations remain safe, compliant and cost-efficient for airlines as demand continues to grow.
Interest in SAF is rising quickly, driven by environmental targets and regulations such as the EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation initiative and the UK SAF Mandate. However, many airports still lack the infrastructure needed to properly handle newer fuel types, including synthetic SAF (eSAF).
Through the agreement, both companies will explore how FlyORO’s modular blending system can be integrated into existing airport fuel infrastructure while meeting strict industry standards.
FlyORO’s AlphaLite™ technology is already in commercial use in Australia and is designed to improve flexibility in SAF supply chains, particularly where infrastructure is limited or still developing.
Menzies said the partnership supports its wider commitment to reducing aviation emissions by helping build the systems needed to scale sustainable fuel use.
Company representatives noted that SAF growth is no longer just about production capacity, but also about building reliable logistics and infrastructure to deliver it efficiently to airports.
Menzies Aviation currently operates one of the largest independent aviation fueling networks globally, managing 65 fuel farms and 67 into-plane fueling operations across eight countries, with more than 3.7 million fueling operations handled each year.
