Sorry that I have to say this, but the title is as misleading as the whole project, they didn’t ‘operate on’ SAF, they mixed 2.3% through fossil fuel, which means they ‘operated’ for 97% non-sustainable. Also the agricultural oil is not sustainable either. Since we need a much bigger planet to fulfil demand for the remaining 97% of this flight, and all other flights. Who are they trying to convince here? I also love flying and also wish it could be sustainable, but this is just a jumbojet load of nonsense.
By 2030, this will be pointless too
VERY well said! Why do the ‘media’ constantly feed us false information? Next thing they will say is.....Trump really did win the last election!
Evan Qantas has had a go with this stuff!
Virgin did a similar thing a while back, just as pointless.
