In the highly competitive and demanding world of motorsports, time is of essence, and we ensure that our customers can rely on JAS when it comes to timely arrival of cars and equipment whereby our expertise and the quality of our services are one-of-a-kind.

Based on the shape and dimensions of the vehicle, the JAS Motorsport team determines the best carriers to contact for the most competitive rates and effective solutions, while maintaining the highest quality of service. JAS takes into consideration the type of aircraft and the airline operating, whether it’s a freighter service where the vehicle will ride on the main deck, or whether the vehicle can fit onto the lower deck on a passenger aircraft or potentially double stack them by means of carracks to be used.

One of our key strengths is the moving cars from Racetrack to Racetrack on a global scale, swiftly and on-time. We move professional racecars, bikes, boats by every mean of transport, be it by air, sea, road, or rail, whatever suits the best in terms of timing and the available budgets. We understand the immense value of these competition vehicles and the importance of handling them with utmost care and efficiency.

EU's SAF Mandate

The European Union's Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate is set to reshape the aviation industry, requiring airlines to incorporate a minimum of 2% SAF in their fuel mix starting in 2025. This regulation represents a major step toward reducing carbon emissions, but it also brings substantial cost challenges for carriers operating across Europe.

Impact on Freight Costs and Sustainability Surcharges

The implementation of the SAF mandate is driving up operational costs for airlines, directly influencing freight rates. To offset these additional expenses, airlines are introducing mandatory sustainability surcharges on shipments departing from or transiting through European airports. While this presents immediate financial challenges, it also serves as a catalyst for innovation and investment in alternative fuels, paving the way for a more sustainable aviation sector.

Balancing Cost and Sustainability

As airlines adapt to these regulatory changes, they must navigate the delicate balance between cost management and environmental responsibility. The evolution of SAF production, along with advancements in supply chain logistics, will play a critical role in determining how efficiently the industry can meet these mandates. Collaboration between fuel suppliers, airlines, and logistics partners will be essential to ensuring a smooth transition.
