Colombia flies first biofuel flight with LAN

In Colombia, LAN completed Colombia’s first second-generation biofuel flight, operating an A320 between Bogota and Cali using camelina fuel. The airline said it chose the recent Bogota-Cali route “because Cali is a strategic city for consolidating LAN’s operations in the country. At the same time, the Cauca Valley led the way in Colombia’s biofuel production, making it a symbolic department to start this type of project in the country.” The airline flew its first biofuel flight between Santiago and Concepcion over a year ago.
