An assessment of the costs of SAF policies and the impact on air fares was conducted as part of the published SAF Mandate cost-benefit analysis. There has not been an assessment of the impact on holiday package prices.

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Cost Benefit is available at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66601969dc15efdddf1a872d/uk-saf-mandate-final-stage-cost-benefit-analysis.pdf, see section 4 for ticket price impacts.
