Norwegians airlines fly with 48% biofuel blend Tuesday

In Norway, SAS Airlines and Norwegian Air flew their first flights on biofuels on Tuesday, with a 48% blend with 52% fossil aviation fuel. The companies’ intention is to promote demand so fuel will be produced from Norwegian forests, rather than the used cooking oil feedstock used in Tuesday’s launch. Norwegian flew from Trondheim to Oslo while SAS flew from Bergen to Oslo.
