NEW DELHI: The country’s largest airline IndiGo on Friday took delivery of its first aircraft from Airbus that operated on a blend of sustainable aviation fuel and normal fuel.
After the plane landed at the airport here from France on Friday, IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta said the airline is also talking to a lot of manufacturers on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
While SAF is yet to be approved for commercial flights, various test flights, powered by such fuel, have been operated. SAF will reduce carbon emissions.
“IndiGo – has taken delivery of its first aircraft operating on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from Airbus… This is the first international flight operated by any Indian carrier using SAF,” the airline said in a release.
