AirAsia has confirmed that it will continue to offer cheap flights to Thailand and other destinations without introducing a fuel surcharge. The low-cost airline has opted to rely on increased passenger numbers and stronger marketing rather than re-introduce a charge to cover the growing cost of aviation fuel - the carrier originally removed the fuel surcharge in November 2008.
Sasol has been working on the fuel for the past 15 years and now claims to have successfully completed a passenger flight with a plane powered solely by the special liquid, reports Xinhua.
