First Sustainable Flight by Guardia Civil Marks Aviation Milestone

Repsol has produced the first batch of renewable fuel used by the Guardia Civil’s air service. The force completed its inaugural flight using sustainable aviation fuel. This flight departed from Torrejón de Ardoz in Madrid, featuring thirty percent sustainable fuel, marking a significant step towards aviation’s decarbonisation.
The renewable fuel has been manufactured from biomass and meets international quality specifications. It has passed extensive testing conducted by Repsol alongside the Guardia Civil’s air service over the last few months. Although the use of eco-friendly fuel is not mandatory for state aircraft, this development signifies progress in the commitment to sustainability within the aviation industry.
The initiative supports the Guardia Civil’s objective to implement sustainable practices in their operations. With increasing focus on environmental impacts, this flight using sustainable aviation fuel is a crucial step towards a greener future for aviation in Spain. Repsol’s efforts in creating renewable fuel demonstrate the potential for the aviation sector to adapt to more sustainable fuel sources.
