After two years British Airways has returned to international short-haul flying from the UK’s Gatwick Airport. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic the airline suspended its European operation at Gatwick Airport, moving a number of flights over to Heathrow.
British Airways has taken delivery of the first batch of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced by Phillips 66 Limited, making it the first airline to start using SAF produced on a commercial scale in the UK.SAF is produced from sustainable sources such as waste gases, crop and forestry residues, household and commercial waste and used cooking oil, and can reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions by over 80 per cent compared to traditional jet fuel.
