SpiceJet will test a plane that uses biofuel. The company is planning to operate some of its flight through biofuel. The DGCA and other aviation bodies will ascertain the feasibility of biofuel-powered aircraft. If the test is successful, India will join a select few countries such as USA and Australia who have biofuel-operated commercial aircraft. The main objective is to make air travel economical and bring down high fuel price through the use of alternate fuel.
SpiceJet is among the first private companies that stepped into the Indian aviation sector.
