Here’s a video about Nature Air, a Costa Rica based airline that claims to be the first carbon neutral airline in the world. Founded in 2000 from Travelair, in 2004 they started their carbon neutral program to offset their total carbon emissions by donating money to a rainforest preservation program. Watch as they fly a Cessna Grand Caravan from Pavas, San Jose to Quepos, to Palma Sur and back to Pavas on flight 130.

An Airbus A340, flying from Berlin (Germany) to Singapore with 246 passengers was preparing for departure. It had suffered an engine problem previously and this engine had been replaced.
The aircraft then departed for the flight to Singapore. During the flight high levels of oil consumption were recorded in the new engine. The cabin slowly filled with fumes and some passengers felt unwell. The bleed air supply for this engine was switched off and the fumes disappeared.
The aircraft continued to its destination for a safe landing. Several passengers received medical assistance upon arrival in Singapore but none were considered sick enough to be taken to hospital.
The plane completed its return flight to Berlin as normal before maintenance was carried out on the affected engine.
