Malaysia Airlines (MAG) is exploring the implementation of a green tax for passengers to help mitigate the higher costs associated with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Group CEO Nasaruddin Bakar stated that a collaborative effort between regulators, fuel suppliers, and airlines is crucial to reduce these costs. This consideration comes as the aviation industry globally seeks ways to lessen its environmental impact and transition to more sustainable practices. The green tax would likely be passed on to travelers, contributing to the financial viability of incorporating SAF into MAG’s operations. Bakar emphasized the need for a shared responsibility in making SAF more accessible and affordable. The airline anticipates this collaborative approach will be instrumental in achieving long-term sustainability goals within the aviation sector in Malaysia. This strategy aligns with increasing global pressure for airlines to decrease their carbon footprint.
