Kingfisher ties up with Anna Univ to cut down emission

Chennai: Kingfisher Airlines has tied-up with Anna University to carry out joint research in order to cut down carbon emissions and introduce bio-fuel.
This is the first time an airline has signed an MoU with a university for research. Under the four-year agreement, a joint research for `aircraft emission optimisation and forecasting module' will be carried out.
