Airline Vistara said on Thursday it became India’s first carrier to operate a wide-body aircraft using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on a long-haul route.
Vistara is a joint venture between Tata group and Singapore Airlines.
The flight was between Charleston International Airport, South Carolina to Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, and was operated in partnership with The Boeing Company and GE Aerospace, on Vistara’s newest GEnx-powered Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, the fourth in its fleet, it said on Thursday in a release.
