Cooking oil to fuel KLM flights

AMSTERDAM — Dutch airline KLM plans to use recycled cooking oil as biofuel to power flights to and from France in a move aimed at cutting carbon emissions.

Starting in September, KLM will begin more than 200 flights between Paris and Amsterdam using the biofuel. KLM managing director Camiel Eurlings said the airline does not have to make any changes to its aircraft engines to use the new biofuel.
