Green kerosene from Dusseldorf: One pilot, many questions for Mallorca
What Green Kerosene Could Mean for Mallorca Flights
A clear look at how sustainable aviation fuel could affect Mallorca flights and why pilot projects still have limited impact.

Answer
What does green kerosene mean for flights to Mallorca?
Green kerosene usually refers to sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, made with lower climate impact than conventional jet fuel. For Mallorca flights, it could help reduce emissions, but a pilot project on its own will only cover a very small share of traffic. The real effect depends on whether production can scale up and whether enough green electricity is available.
