The Royal Air Force (RAF) Red Arrows will fly using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) during the 2025 Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), taking place from July 18 to 20, 2025. This will not be their first use of SAF at a public event. The Red Arrows made their first SAF-powered flypast over London on June 14, 2025, for HM King Charles.
During the RIAT airshow, the Red Arrows will use both SAF and a renewable biofuel called Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) to create their signature vapour trails. This will mark the first-ever aerobatic performances by the Red Arrows at the airshow using both SAF and HVO.
