JetBlue Airways will operate a second-generation biofuel test following demonstrations by Air New Zealand (ANZ), Continental Airlines and Japan Airlines (JAL).The low-cost carrier is preparing for an Airbus A320-200 trial by spring 2010, a JetBlue spokesman tells ATI.
JetBlue teamed up with Airbus, International Aero Engines (IAE) and Honeywell fuel technology firm UOP in May 2008 to set about developing alternative fuels made from feedstocks that do not compete with the food supply.
Feedstocks being considered for the trial include jatropha, algae, waste forest residues, organic waste streams and the non-edible component of corn plants, corn stover, the spokesman says.
