HMG allocated £225m in 2023-24 and £195m in 2024-25 to support the aerospace industry. This funding primarily supports the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) programme, which co-invests alongside industry in research and development to maintain and grow the UK’s competitive position in civil aerospace and decarbonise aviation.

The Autumn Budget 2024 announced an extension to the ATI programme providing £975m of funding up to 2030.
