A Virgin Atlantic passenger jet - with no cargo or paying passengers - crossed the Atlantic Ocean Tuesday (London-to-New York) using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
“Engines in commercial use are not yet certified to fly on more than 50% SAF and the vast majority of flights blend in a much lower amount of SAF with traditional jet fuel.”
SAF is used cooking oil + waste animal fat + “synthetic aromatic kerosene made from waste corn.”
