Responding to the publication of the Government’s Jet Zero Strategy, Chair of Sustainable Aviation Matt Gorman said:
“With the world’s third largest aviation network and proud history of aviation innovation, the UK is in a prime position to lead the global transition to a Jet Zero future.
“Today’s strategy and pledges by Jet Zero Council members are a significant milestone on the path to achieving this ambition, recognising that aviation can grow sustainably, with the right support.
“We are pleased to see a strategy focussed on supporting the technologies that will deliver this ambition.
“We look forward to working with Government on the commercialisation and scale-up of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in the UK, investment in technology including zero-emission aircraft, delivery of critical airspace modernisation and supporting carbon removal technologies.
“We hope this will include policy support to quickly deliver a mandate and the right commercial incentives to enable investment in SAF plants here in the UK whilst ensuring the wider technology solutions are developed and implemented.”
