Aero-News Quote of the Day

"By collaborating, we reinforce our commitment to fostering the widespread commercialization of alternative jet fuel. In the evolving landscape of alternative energy, it is in our collective interest to see aviation at the forefront. The airline industry and DoD collectively require more than 1.5 million barrels of jet fuel per day. By combining our talents and experience, we are better positioned to explore cooperative market engagement for fuel, improve the financial prospects for alternative fuels infrastructure, accelerate fuel certification efforts and refine our methodology for determining environmental impacts."
