Virgin Atlantic is gearing up for a groundbreaking flight from London to New York, powered entirely by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This first-of-its-kind long-haul flight, called Flight100, aims to demonstrate the potential of eco-friendly alternatives in aviation. The flight will feature a Virgin Boeing 787 with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. Onboard will be Virgin Atlantic's founder Richard Branson, Virgin Atlantic's CEO Shai Weiss, and Britain's transport minister Mark Harper. No paying passengers or cargo will be part of this flight.
