According to the Geneva-based Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), the first drops of sustainable aviation biofuels could be entering aircraft tanks within 3 to 5 years.

With the announcement of the group’s new publication: The Beginner’s Guide to Aviation Biofuels, ATAG is hoping to better inform industry employees and members of the flying public about this “new age in flight.”

Currently, ATAG is the only global organization representing all parts of the commercial air transport sector.

A new era in air travel

“For the first time we have identified a viable alternative to fossil fuels for commercial aviation. We have seen the age of flying boats, the jet age and the age of democratisation of air travel,” said Paul Steele, Executive Director of ATAG. “In the next few years, we are preparing to enter the ‘biofuels age’ of flight.”

In the last year, the industry has put major focus on the development of sustainable biofuel – a source of energy that could have around an 80 percent…

With one year to go, Cape Town Tourism is gearing up for the surge of tourism anticipated in celebration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup with a year-long string of celebrations and social media events.

Cape Town Tourism has unveiled their new Cape Town 2010 mini-site www.capetown.travel/2010; a portal for 2010 specific information on accommodation, transport, tours, eating out, and much more.

“Our aim was to create a virtual place where citizens and fans can congregate, share their love of soccer, learn about each other, and celebrate Cape Town as one of the most remarkable places on earth,” said Cape Town Tourism CEO Mariette du Toit-Helmbold.

After ten years in the making, Destination Hotels & Resorts has officially debuted its newest property: the breathtaking and eco-friendly Pacific-oceanfront Terranea Resort.

Located in Rancho Palos Verdes, just 20 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport, the 120-acre property introduces a whole new generation to a part of Los Angeles that feels worlds away from the dynamic city, and to a beautiful and tranquil setting which is largely unknown.

“Visitors that round the last scenic coastal bend before Terranea are met with a breathtaking sight: an oceanfront Resort surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean with Catalina Island looming across the channel,” said Charlie Peck, president and chief operation officer for Destination. “This location has to be one of Southern California’s most striking vistas and we are honored to add this inspired Resort along the Pacific to our collection of properties.”
