Air France-KLM Flight Fuelled With Used Cooked Oil Highlights Aviation Industry's Sustainable Future

News 18  

For the first time, a long-haul flight from Paris to Montreal used Total’s sustainable fuel, which is partly made from used cooking oil. On May 18, 2021, Air France Flight 342 departed from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport to Montreal, Canada with a new biofuel made in France from various waste products and used cooking oil. The goal behind this full-scale test, conducted by Air France-KLM, Total, the ADP Group and Airbus, is to quickly set up a French production chain for sustainable aviation fuels, so that in the longer term they can be used more widely in airports around the world. Airbus is conducting several series of tests in parallel to certify airliners capable of carrying 100% sustainable aviation biofuel in the coming decades.
