Air France launched its Lab’line for the Future programme in 2014. The idea is to promote responsible, sustainable air transport by investigating the use of biofuel instead of kerosene, and finding new ways to make aircraft lighter and more fuel-efficient. Thales is among the 14 companies and institutions that participate in this initiative. One of the first steps was to test one flight a week using 10% biofuel on the Toulouse to Paris route.
