Boeing and South African Airways Join Hands for Biofuel Research
Boeing and South African Airways (SAA) have announced a partnership to develop and implement a sustainable aviation biofuel supply chain in Southern Africa, a first for the continent.
The companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the second week of October, 2013, as part of the companies’ broader efforts to support environmental sustainability for the airline’s operations and the commercial aviation industry overall, in addition to advancing South Africa’s social and economic development.
Boeing has collaborated extensively with airlines, research institutions, governments and other stakeholders to develop road maps for biofuel supply chains in several countries and regions, including the United States, China, Australia and Brazil. The aerospace company’s plan to work with SAA is the first such project in Africa. – See more at: http://www.rtcc.org/2013/10/17/boeing-and-south-african-airways-sign-biofuels-deal/#sthash.qwXvjqP4.dpuf
