We are considering the future of the sector in terms of sustainability. The aviation sector must be a green one that creates high quality, skilled jobs.

The Jet Zero Council has now set out ambitions on sustainable aviation fuel, zero-emission aviation and aerospace technologies.

Following the successful implementation of our aviation restart measures, the government will then put forward its strategic framework for the medium and long term recovery of the aviation sector, and set out a pathway for recovery to sustainable growth.

We will be consulting on our position on aviation and climate change in the new year.
