A passenger Boeing 747 has performed the first in the world regular flight with the use of bio-fuel. However, because of the security reasons there were no passengers onboard.

The Virgin Atlantic airliner took of in the London Heathrow airport and landed after an hour in Amsterdam. The vegetable-based mixture has been loaded into one of the fuel tanks of the Boeing.

The combustible cocktail became quite exotic: it contained cocoa and Brazil Babasu nut oils.

According to the opinion of the airline founder - Richard Branson, this flight has shown that the passenger aviation can switch to the ecologically clean fuel much earlier than expected.
