Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce a ban on kerosene-powered private jets as part of the Government’s net zero strategy.

The government has no plans to ban kerosene-powered private jets. The Chancellor announced changes to the Air Passenger Duty (APD) in the last Budget, which included a 13% increase in APD rates for 2026/27 and a further 50% increase for larger private and business jets.

The government is committed to meeting our climate obligations to reach net zero by 2050 and will set out detail on plans for meeting legislated carbon budgets later this year.
