Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced the successful completion of the world's first trans-Atlantic flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Accomplished on November 19, the flight took place on a Gulfstream G600 aircraft, which departed the company's headquarters in Savannah and landed 6 hours, 56 minutes later at Farnborough Airport in England.
ForwardKeys has released a report stating that the recent Israel-Hamas conflict has negatively impacted not only flights to and from the Middle East but also caused a global slowdown in the aviation industry. According to their analysis, flight bookings have decreased by 5 percentage points (p.p.) in the three weeks following Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7th, when compared to pre-pandemic levels. The study compared flight bookings during the three weeks before October 7th with those during the same period after the attack.
