SkyNRG, Embraer & KLM launch sustainable jet fuel flights from Oslo to Amsterdam
May 09, 2016-
On March 31, 2016 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines launched a series of around 80 sustainable jet fuel flights from Oslo to Amsterdam, operated with an Embraer 190. Oslo airport is the first airport to supply sustainable jet fuel from its hydrant system since January this year. For these flights, operated by KLM Cityhopper, sustainable jet fuel is delivered into wing by separate fuel trucks. This way, Embraer can conduct measurements to gauge the efficiency of sustainable jet fuel compared to fossil jet fuel. The sustainable jet fuel is produced by Neste within the ITAKA* project (funded by the European Commission) and made available by Air BP and SkyNRG in close cooperation with Norwegian airport operator Avinor. The fuel is produced from RSB certified Camelina oil and in full compliance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED). KLM’s sustainable jet fuel flights are partly funded by the partners in the KLM Corporate BioFuel Programme: ABN AMRO, Accenture, CBRE Global Investors, FMO, FrieslandCampina, City of Amsterdam, Heineken, Loyens & Loeff, PGGM, Perfetti Van Melle and the Schiphol Group.
