Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she expects her Department to issue a response to the call for evidence on a 2040 zero emissions airport target that was published in May 2023.

The Government is committed to delivering greener transport and supporting its missions to kickstart economic growth and make Britain a clean energy superpower. We are making great strides in transitioning to greener aviation, including work on sustainable aviation fuels, airspace modernisation, and low-emission technologies.

We are considering what role an airport decarbonisation target could play as part of our broader approach to decarbonising aviation. We will set out the next steps in due course.
