Air New Zealand reschedules biofuel test flight for Dec. 30

Just an update: The Air New Zealand two-hour test flight that will involve the use of Jatropha-based biofuel in a Boeing 747-400′s Rolls-Royce engine will now take place on Dec. 30.

The flight, initially scheduled for Dec. 3, was understandably cancelled after another unrelated test flight in November (not involving biofuels) resulted in the crash of an Airbus A320. Seven people died.
