MOBILE, Ala. - Airbus has delivered to Delta Air Lines its 50th A320 series aircraft produced in the Airbus U.S. production facility in Mobile. This A321 is the first of a total of 20 aircraft being delivered with a blend of sustainable jet fuel over the next year. The jet fuel, supplied by Air BP and loaded into the aircraft by Signature Flight Support (Airbus’ fueling services provider in Mobile), is certified compliant with the sustainability requirements of the European Union Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED) and the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC). Delta is the second U.S customer to have aircraft delivered by Airbus from Mobile using a blend of sustainable fuel. Airbus offers this option to its customers in order to promote a more regular use of sustainable aviation fuels within the industry. In the longer term, Airbus also envisions supporting industrial production of sustainable fuels for aviation in the southeastern U.S. (Source:
