Seventy two passengers travelling from Halmstad to Stockholm experienced the ‘perfect flight’ on Friday, as the aviation industry pooled its expertise to minimise carbon emissions from the one-hour journey.

Sustainable aviation fuel produced by oil refining specialist Neste powered the flight, while the plane – Braathens’s Regional Airlines ATR 72-600 turboprop – already produces 40 per cent fewer carbon emissions per trip than regional jets, according to the airline.
