ATOBA Energy and Air Moana have signed an agreement to implement scalable solutions for the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This strategic collaboration aims to ensure long-term SAF availability while supporting local initiatives to develop sustainable fuel production in Tahiti.It marks a major step forward in the decarbonization of aviation in the Pacific region.As part of this agreement, ATOBA Energy will work with Air Moana to build a resilient and competitive SAF supply chain, aligned with Air Moana’s progressive sustainability goals from 2026 to 2035. The strategy will combine the 'book and claim' method (certificate-based) with physical SAF deliveries.The partnership also includes the ambition to support French Polynesia’s SAF roadmap, with ATOBA bringing its expertise in SAF production technologies, market analysis, and implementation strategies.“We are very proud to collaborate with Air Moana, as this partnership reflects the core of ATOBA’s mission: to be a flexible, pragmatic, and customer-focused SAF provider,” said Arnaud NAMER, CEO of ATOBA Energy. “Providing a hybrid approach of certificates and physical deliveries allows us to meet the needs of airlines while developing the SAF value chain. This is our first step in rolling out our ambitions in the Asia-Pacific region.”Air Moana has expressed its intention to enter into a 10-year SAF offtake agreement to progressively increase its supply of sustainable fuel between 2026 and 2035, with decarbonization targets aligned with the European SAF mandate.“We are proud to partner with ATOBA to bring cleaner skies to French Polynesia,” said Lionel GUERIN, CEO of Air Moana. “This Memorandum of Understanding reflects our long-term vision and our commitment to leading the sustainable transition of aviation in the Pacific. ATOBA is an ideal partner for Air Moana thanks to its deep industry knowledge and technology-neutral sourcing solutions, well suited to remote regions like ours. We are proud to be both the first ATR operator and the first Pacific-based airline to launch such a project.”&nbsp;
