The sustainable flight challenge flies into Edmonton International Airport, bringing one of the most sustainable flights ever from Amsterdam to Canada.
Saturday afternoon a KLM flight from Amsterdam landed at the Edmonton International Airport (EIA). While looking at the plane from the outside, it seemed like a regular flight, but it was actually much more efficient.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines president and CEO Pieter Elbers said this is the first flight of its kind for the company, setting a record for using the largest amount of sustainable aviation fuel ever on a commercial flight.
The aircraft carried two per cent less fuel but had 76 more passengers than normal. The company said it equals about 26 per cent less C02 emissions per passenger.
The KLM flight was a long-haul entry for the Sustainable Flight Challenge by Skyteam. Sixteen airlines are taking part in the friendly competition and the goal is to take steps to create the most sustainable flight possible.
“We have a lot of the same values and the same ambitions, the same drive to go for sustainable aviation,” Elbers said.
EIA president Tom Ruth said he is honoured the airline picked Alberta’s capital.
“This is like a dream come true. It’s for our region but also for our future. Think about our kids and grandkids, about what we are doing and set a leadership example,” Ruth said.
The flight didn’t stop at fuel to make it more sustainable. Ruth was onboard and said everything from take-off to the utensils used was carefully planned out.
