Vistara operates its first Boeing B787 long-haul flight on SAF

Vistara became India’s first carrier to operate a wide-body aircraft using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on a long-haul route. Vistara is a joint venture between Tata group and Singapore Airlines.

The flight was between Charleston International Airport, South Carolina to Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, and was operated in partnership with The Boeing Company and GE Aerospace, on Vistara’s newest GEnx-powered Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, the fourth in its fleet, it said on Thursday in a release.The International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) responsibilities under the CORSIA, or Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, a carbon offset and reduction programme, will also require the Indian aviation industry to implement SAF.

Except for airlines from the least developed countries, small island developing countries, and landlocked countries, as well as those whose combined carbon dioxide emissions per revenue tonne-kilometre are less than 0.5% of the total global contribution, the offsetting requirement for the majority of aircraft operators, including Indian airlines for international operations, will become mandatory from 2027 on.

New airport terminals: Chennai 0 - Bengaluru 1

International passengers will be able to fly out of a swanky new terminal at Chennai airport next month with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) planning to commission one part of the integrated terminal to boost its passenger handling capacity. Around the same time, Bengaluru airport will also open its new terminal for passengers.That is where the similarity between the two airports ends. Though the two major airports in the south will add terminals at the same time, Chennai airport has miles to go because the facility at Bengaluru will be far superior in terms of passenger handling capacity.The capacity of Bengaluru airport will shoot up to 60 million passengers per year when the new building is thrown open. In contrast, the same metric for Chennai will be approximately 30 million passengers per year.
Another five million passengers will be added after around three years when the existing old international arrival building is demolished and rebuilt. That’s about it. Chennai airport cannot grow any further at its current location in Meenambakkam because of space constraints, while Bengaluru will add another 20 million passengers when it starts construction of another new terminal in July 2023.
