The first sustainable-fuel flight just crossed the Atlantic, and farmed salmon was onboard

Faroes-based salmon farmer Bakkafrost flew its product Tuesday on the world’s first trans-Atlantic commercial airline flight using 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

In collaboration with Virgin Atlantic and Kuehne+Nagel, Bakkafrost flew its salmon from London to New York on the the milestone flight.

“We are committed to being a sustainable business in every sense, and with the increasing focus on sustainable exports and airfreight across the world, this SAF approach is an important development for the future,” said Bakkafrost CEO Regin Jacobsen.
