Virgin to operate first Atlantic flight using green fuel
Daily Express
|November 07, 2023
VIRGIN Atlantic is planning an inaugural transatlantic service powered entirely by sustainable aviation fuel.
Regulator the Civil Aviation Authority has approved the Boeing 787 flight from Heathrow to New York on November 28.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said: "The world's journey to decarbonising flights starts here with today's announcement, helped by Government funding, so people can travel how they want in a way fit for the future.
"By turning waste materials into the fuel of the future that will power our aviation sector, it is UK innovation leading the way with the world's first transatlantic 100% SAF-powered flight." SAF is produced from sources such as agricultural waste and used cooking oil.
It cuts carbon emissions by up to 70% compared with traditional jet fuel but is several times more expensive to produce.
