Delta has opened a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending facility at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.
Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, July 29, 2026 —
Delta Air Lines has inaugurated a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending facility at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP). This development marks a step forward in the company’s efforts to integrate more sustainable fuel sources into its operations.
The facility at MSP is designed to support Delta’s increasing use of SAF, which is produced from sustainable feedstocks such as used cooking oil and agricultural waste. SAF is considered a key component in reducing the aviation industry’s carbon footprint, as it can significantly lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet fuel.
The opening of the blending facility is part of Delta’s broader strategy to advance the use of lower-carbon fuels. While the specific details regarding the capacity of the facility or the timeline for its full operational integration were not provided, the establishment of this infrastructure at a major hub like MSP is seen as significant for facilitating the use of SAF.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a critical area of focus for many airlines and aviation stakeholders aiming to achieve ambitious climate goals. The development and deployment of SAF technologies and supply chains are ongoing efforts across the industry. Delta’s initiative at MSP contributes to the growing network of infrastructure aimed at making SAF more accessible.
