Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia has announced a partnership to investigate options for biofuel. They have already issued a Request for Information (RFI) to the market to explore opportunities in procuring locally-produced aviation biofuel.
Air New Zealand chief flight operations and safety officer Captain David Morgan said the airline recognizes the impact of aviation on the environment and this is a key move under its program. Virgin Australia head of sustainability Robert Wood said they are also committed to stimulate the development of a sustainable aviation biofuel industry in the region.
Both airlines are committed to ensuring that aviation biofuel has environmental, social and economic benefits, and respondents to the RFI are encouraged to address these.
