KUALA LUMPUR: Weststar Aviation Services (Weststar) has partnered with Petronas Dagangan Bhd (PDB) to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in offshore helicopter operations across Malaysia.
The partnership was unveiled during the Selangor Aviation Show 2023, held at SkyPark RAC Selangor on the exhibition’s inaugural day.
This collaborative endeavor highlights Weststar’s dedication to sustainability and environmentally responsible aviation practices.
Weststar Aviation Services chief executive officer Datuk Wan Hasmar Azim Wan Hassan said the partnership between Weststar and PDB sets a robust industry precedent, emphasising the significance of sustainable practices and responsible fuel sourcing.
The SAF used for this collaboration was supplied by PDB in collaboration with Neste, the world’s leading producer of SAF.
Weststar initiated this collaboration by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with PDB during the recent LIMA exhibition in March.
Weststar Aviation Services is a leader in the offshore helicopter services industry, providing transportation of personnel to offshore oil and gas platforms and drilling rigs.
