A commercial flight powered by a blend of conventional aviation turbine fuel and sustainable aviation fuel was recently operated.

This flight collected operational data and fuel-performance metrics, supporting national ambitions for a 5% mandatory sustainable aviation fuel blend by 2030.
The flight was operated by Akasa Air and supported the International Air Transport Association's commitment to achieve net-zero. Further details about the flight, including its route and performance, are available from the source.
