First Transatlantic Flight Using Strictly 100% Sustainable Fuel

Just days ago, there was a first.

It was a transatlantic flight. Yes, I know that has been done before. But this one was strictly on sustainable aviation fuel. And it was a success.

Perhaps this could help revolutionize traveling while minimizing our collective environmental footprints.

Below are some of the details from a related article and video (see link below), from the Weather Channel. There is also a video attached below that. Take a look:



Sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, is a replacement for fossil-derived fuels in the aviation industry. Without retrofitting, the sustainable alternative performs similarly to traditional jet fuel. Virgin Atlantic completed the first ever flight using 100% SAF, flying from London to New York City.
