Indonesia targets 30‑50% sustainable aviation fuel blend by 2060, signs Boeing partnership

The Indonesian government aims to raise the share of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in jet fuel to 30‑50% by 2060. The rollout will start with a 1% blend, currently being tested on domestic flights, and expand to international routes from 2027 at Soekarno‑Hatta and Ngurah Rai airports. Feedstock is expected to come mainly from used cooking oil and other waste streams, raising concerns about supply chain readiness.

State energy firm Pertamina has signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing to accelerate SAF development. The partnership will explore feedstock sourcing, technology deployment and policy support. Pertamina CEO Simon Aloysius Mantiri said the collaboration will boost Indonesia’s SAF industry and create economic value, while Boeing foresees growing Southeast Asian air traffic and expects SAF adoption to help cut aviation emissions.
