Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what engagement they are they undertaking with the airline industry to cut emissions and meet long term sustainability targets.

The Department for Transport engages regularly and widely with the airline industry, as with many stakeholders, regarding the decarbonisation of UK aviation. Delivery in partnership is a guiding principle of the Jet Zero Strategy, published in July 2022 to set out the Department’s approach for achieving net zero CO2 emissions from UK aviation by 2050.

To support close collaboration between the Government and industry, the Jet Zero Council was established in 2020. The Council brings together senior leaders in aviation, aerospace and academia to drive the delivery of new technologies and innovative ways to cut aviation emissions.
