With the Omicron variant surging across the U.S., it might feel as if COVID-related flight cancellations are unlikely to improve. But some flight experts say new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) could help soon. Major U.S. airline CEOs recently urged the agency to shorten the isolation period for fully vaccinated individuals who contract asymptomatic cases of COVID so that they could reduce the number of crew members unable to work.

"Swift and safe adjustments by the CDC would alleviate at least some of the staffing pressures and set up airlines to help millions of travelers returning from their holidays," Derek Dombrowski, a JetBlue spokesman, told The New York Times.

While United aims to demonstrate that more sustainable commercial aviation is possible, passengers can likely expect higher ticket prices as part of the industry's overall shift toward an environmentally friendlier future.

"SAF is an alternative jet fuel that can provide up to an 80-percent reduction in lifecycle carbon emissions. SAF is a solution available today to help decarbonize aviation."

The fuel is made from cooking oils, grease, and fats, blended with compounds derived from plant sugars.
