The Future for Aircraft Fuel: Natural Gas

Monday night a Qatar Airways plane landed in London flying all the way from Doha. What was so special? This flight was fueled solely by Natural Gas. This put Qatar airways in the history books, becoming the first operating commercial flight to use natural gas.

So what does this mean?

I think this exposes a whole new potential source of aircraft fuel for the future. For those of you who read this site daily, you know I have been a huge promoter of Natural Gas stocks and this is another good sign that momentum is building up behind the sector. It makes perfect sense for the airline industry. Its cheap, clean, good quality energy. It will lower emissions around airports whilst saving billions annually in fueling costs. It’s just a start but things are turning moving along for this sector. Make sure to buy in. To read more about why Natural Gas is such a Bullish Sector read this article.
