Is sustainable aviation fuel enough to make Mallorca air travel climate-friendly?
Not on its own. SAF can reduce emissions compared with fossil kerosene, but the current volumes are still very small and the fuel is more expensive to produce. For Mallorca, that means it is a useful step, but not a full solution for climate-friendly air travel.
