The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) served as an ideal destination this week for a series of biofuel demonstration flights that transported, among others, ICAO secretary general Raymond Benjamin to Rio de Janeiro for the sessions.
On June 18 a Porter Airlines Bombardier Q400 partly powered with camelina and brassica carinata oil flew Benjamin from Montréal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport for the first leg of his trip to Rio. Following his flight to Toronto, Benjamin flew on an Air Canada Airbus A319 powered with 50-percent used cooking oil supplied by SkyNRG to Mexico City, where a Boeing 777-200 flown by Aeroméxico and powered by an ASA-supplied jet fuel using camelina, jatropha and used cooking oil took him to São Paulo, Brazil.
