India may see Finnair's first long-haul flight on bio-fuels

Helsinki: Nordic carrier Finnair will launch its first long-haul flight powered by bio-fuels to Asia, where India is a strategic market, to show its commitment towards environment protection and sustainable air transportation.
"We were the first to fly the longest commercial bio-fuel flight flown anywhere in the world," said Kati Ihamaki, vice president for sustainable development with Finnair, referring to the flight in July last year between Amsterdam and Helsinki.
"We have now planed a long-haul flight powered by bio-fuels. It could be end of this year or beginning of next year. It could be to anywhere in Asia. It could be India too," Ihamaki siad.
