Abstract

In the context of decarbonization and circular economy imperatives, this study examines how aviation manufacturing supply chains can be optimized under green development principles by integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and end-of-life (EOL) aircraft treatment strategies. Key findings from industry data indicate that global SAF output remains minimal (approximately 1.3×10^9 L or ~0.3% of jet fuel demand in 2024). SAF production is constrained by high costs (often 2–8 times that of fossil kerosene) and requires substantial new infrastructure for blending and distribution. International policies like ICAO’s CORSIA and the EU’s SAF mandates impose strict sustainability criteria and blending targets, shaping SAF deployment and viability. In parallel, effective EOL management can recover nearly all aircraft components: rigorous dismantling processes allow >99% of engine parts and major airframe metals to be salvaged. For example, recycled carbon fiber from decommissioned planes can cut energy consumption by ~98% compared to new composites, exemplifying circular-economy benefits. These findings underscore that aligning SAF adoption and aircraft recycling with policy frameworks (e.g., CORSIA) enables a low-carbon, resource-efficient aviation supply chain. The study outlines how optimized supply chain models can incorporate these green strategies to meet future environmental targets.
