Two maiden biofuel-powered flights will leave Seattle/Tacoma on November 9 for Washington, D.C., and Portland, Oregon. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air will continue to operate select flights between Seattle/Tacoma and the two cities over the next few weeks using a 20 percent blend of sustainable biofuel made from used cooking oil that meets rigorous international safety and sustainability standards.

The study determined the region has the diverse stocks for biofuels, delivery infrastructure and political will needed to create a viable biofuels industry. There currently is no supply of aviation biofuels in the Pacific Northwest.
