Sweden’s BRA fly on 45% biofuel blend

February 1, 2017 |

In Sweden, An ATR 72-600 of the Swedish carrier BRA (former Braathens Regional) took off from Stockholm-Bromma Wednesday to Umeå fueled at 45% with fossil-free used cooking oil, marking the first biofuel-powered flight of an ATR aircraft.  BRA provides an essential air service to link their main hub of Stockholm-Bromma to twelve Swedish regions. The ATRs of BRA provide an unrivaled performance advantage in months with adverse weather conditions. The airline is particularly committed to environmental preservation and has already started replacing their Saab 2000s with modern ATR 72-600s, recognized as the most fuel-efficient aircraft on the regional market.
