Qatar Airways - Fuel From Natural Gas


Special blend of synthetic Gas to Liquids (GTL) kerosene and oil-based kerosene fuel was developed by Shell and now should be used as a more nature-friendly fuel for airplanes under the name GTL Jet Fuel.
Qatar Airways as a first airline used this fuel technology completed the world´s first commercial passenger flight!
The journey from London Gatwick to Doha was operated with an Airbus A340-600 and took over 6 hours.
The Qatar Airwais is very proud to use this new fuel technology - it is very ecological. during the process of burning there is lower percentage of sulphur dioxide and emissions.
