Avia Solutions Group has announced a new partnership with DHL Express aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipments, using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through DHL’s GoGreen Plus service.
As the world’s largest ACMI provider, Avia Solutions Group has already achieved a 12.61% reduction in GHG emissions related to its DHL shipments – equal to 30.6 tonnes – between January and April 2025 under the GoGreen Plus Basic Model.
The collaboration spans multiple subsidiaries within the group, reflecting a broader commitment to sustainable operations across its global aviation network.
“As a global aviation leader operating across six continents, we recognise our responsibility to contribute to more sustainable industry practices,” said Jonas Janukenas, chief executive of Avia Solutions Group. “By utilising SAF for our large-scale logistics needs, we can prove the viability of this approach and nudge other aviation companies to take bold steps in order to minimise their environmental impact.”
Mindaugas Pivoriunas, managing director at DHL Express Lithuania, said: “We are proud to support Avia Solutions Group in their commitment to reducing GHG emissions across their extensive network. The aviation industry’s path to net-zero requires collaborative efforts, and the wide adoption of GoGreen Plus shows the willingness of world-leading aviation players to fully embrace more sustainable practices.”
DHL’s GoGreen Plus service enables companies to lower the GHG emissions associated with their shipments by using SAF made from sustainable sources, such as used cooking oil or waste. Compared to conventional jet fuel, SAF can cut lifecycle emissions by approximately 80%.
The GoGreen Plus programme is part of DHL Group’s wider net-zero strategy and allows customers to account for emissions reductions in their voluntary sustainability reporting, using a ‘book and claim’ system.
To power the initiative, DHL Express has entered strategic SAF supply agreements with leading producers such as bp and Neste. The deals are expected to deliver over 800 million litres of SAF to DHL’s network and reduce around two million tonnes of carbon dioxide over the fuel’s lifecycle.
