New measures to help the UK take off as a world leader in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) were introduced this week in Parliament, supporting the growth in the industry and jobs across the country.

With decarbonisation key to accelerating expansion plans, the government has also announced an additional £400,000 of funding for producers so that new clean fuels can get to market quicker, speeding up the UK’s path to green flying.

In addition, the revenue certainty mechanism (RCM) will keep ticket price changes minimal – keeping fluctuations to £1.50 a year on average – and will be industry funded through a levy on aviation fuel suppliers. The Department will continue to engage with industry on the details of the RCM, including pricing.
