JetBlue announced that its newest aircraft, an Airbus A321 it received on Wednesday, will fly using a renewable jet fuel blend. According to the company, the acceptance flight and JetBlue’s ferry flight, which is scheduled for September 20th, will be the airline’s first flights to use renewable fuel. JetBlue will be ferrying the aircraft from Airbus’ production facility in Mobile, Alabama

If they’re smart, they’ll start selling fries on board.  That smell is powerful pheromones to your tummy.

Are you implying that would be a bad thing?

Alternative joke : Just because Airbus is French doesn’t mean....

They could charge $ 2 5 for them and make more than they do on the actual flying part.

That all depends on whether I can get fries   with that.

It would work. I don’t know if I could hold out for a typical two hour flight, but I’m pretty sure my daughter couldn’t.

Aw, who am I kidding? I’d have my card ready before we taxied out.

Oh heck yeah. I would order 2 orders as soon as they came through the cabin.

And I’d be on the national news for air rage if they ran out, probably.

It’s funny you say that, Interjet and Aeromexico have been flying with biofuels for the better part of a decade in both Boeing and Airbus jets...

Interjet also signed an agreement with Honeywell and a French company to test electric hub motors for taxing rather than using the main jet engines or tugs  to do so.

Jet aircraft use a heck of a lot of fuel.  Anything they can do to cut that saves fossil fuel and money.  Good on them for being ahead of us on that!

Must be an FAA kink (like US headlights)
