Sustainable Aviation Fuel development has passed significant milestones with Teesside emerging as the location of choice for sustainable fuel production
On 28th November 2023, a Virgin Atlantic plane successfully completed the first transatlantic flight – from London to New York – using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), showcasing and testing the feasibility of its use in long-haul operations.
SAF is a cleaner alternative to fossil-based jet fuel. With the potential to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by more than 70%, Sustainable Aviation Fuel could make a key contribution to the aviation sector’s net zero goals.
