Up in the air …

RYANAIR has added almost 2,000 extra flights across its European network for the October holidays, with almost 350,000 additional seats now on sale.

UK customers and visitors can choose from more than 300 additional flights for travel in October on more than 150 routes.

THE SKIES are a little – just a little – greener after two Alaska Airlines jets left Seattle fueled by the first alcohol-to-jet fuel made from sustainable US corn. They flew to San Francisco and Washington DC.

The 1,500 gallons of bio-fuel used on the flights had a minimal impact on Alaska Airlines' overall greenhouse gas emissions, but if the airline were able to replace 20 percent of its entire fuel supply at Sea-Tac Airport, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 142,000 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to taking some 30,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.

Alaska Air Group to buy Virgin America in $2.6 billion deal

ALASKA AIR GROUP is to buy Virgin America for $2.6 billion, which will make it the top carrier on the US west coast. Richard Branson, who started the airline in 2007 as an off-shoot of his UK-based Virgin Group, will get a cash windfall of approximately $550 million from the sale.

The deal will create the fifth-largest US airline after a decade of mergers that have shrunk the industry to a handful of companies. The top four control more than 80 percent of the US travel market.
