Answer
It is critical that aviation plays its part in delivering the UK’s net zero ambitions.
The Transport and Business Secretaries co-chaired the new Jet Zero Council on 22 July which brought together senior leaders in aviation, aerospace and academia to drive high ambition in the delivery of new technologies and innovative ways to cut aviation emissions.
We will also consult on our position on aviation and climate change later this year.
