VX to run on biofuel?
"A Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 will make a historic flight later this month from London's Heathrow Airport to Amsterdam.
... The trip will be the first time a commercial aircraft has flown on biofuel."

If all goes well, I wonder how long it'll be before VX start using biofuel? How would this effect the price of long-haul fares? I don't know how biofuel compares to oil-based fuel in price?
