Virgin Atlantic to use tow-trucks to save fuel

Sarsfield · 2006-12-03 18:54:43

This was mooted by Sir RB a few months ago and he seems to be sticking to his word. Towing planes from the terminal to the runway will save up to two tonnes of fuel per flight. Presumably at places like LHR & JFK where taxi times can be longer than flight times! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6203636.stm
