KLM makes biofuel flight with passengers on board

KLM has become the first carrier to complete a biofuel flight with passengers on board after undertaking a special test flight on November 23.

KLM used a camelina derived fuel in a 50/50 mix to power one engine on a Boeing 747-400, which operated a one hour round flight from Amsterdam Schiphol. The flight carried 40 invited guests as passengers, including a number of Dutch government officials and KLM CEO Peter Hartman.
