In the UK, City A.M reported that group of local airlines and airports urged the UK government to ramp up state support for the production of sustainable aviation fuels in the country.
“We believe UK SAF production has the chance to become a domestic success story, but the government needs to act now to ensure manufacturers get the price certainty needed to unlock private investment into this sector,” the group wrote to transport secretary Mark Harper.
Stakeholders – including Virgin Atlantic, British Airways and Heathrow – said the government should introduce a set price for SAF production as well as establish a “contracts for difference” scheme.
“Without action now, the UK risks losing out to countries in the European Union and the United States which are forging ahead in support of this emerging industry,” the letter read.
