Settling into my seat above the wing the sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, was being pumped into, any safety concerns I had about the concept of flying across the Atlantic on a flight powered by fuel made from waste cooking oils was quickly allayed by laughter at the jokes about smells of chip fat and kebab wafting through the cabin.
Jokes aside, while Virgin Atlantic’s “if you can make it, we can fly it” mantra has certainly been underscored, perhaps less certain still is can we make it in sufficient quantity – and should we fly it?
