Air France-KLM, on Tuesday, flew its Airbus A350 from Paris to Montreal on biofuel by mixing sustainable aviation fuel petroleum with a synthetic jet fuel derived from waste cooking oils.
The passenger jet took off from the airport with its fuel capacity being made up of 16 per cent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), one that was produced in France from used cooking oil by Total, AFP reported.
Air-France said such a flight was its first long-haul and the feat was unprecedented. The company said the effort was to show readiness to adopt low-emission fuel in the bid to spur the aviation industry’s sluggish pace to adopt the policy.
