Airports: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the potential impact of airport expansion on the Government's ability to meet net zero targets.
Answered by Mike Kane
This government does not oppose airport expansion as long as it provides economic growth and is compatible with strict environmental standards. We are considering our wider approach to decarbonising aviation and remain committed to achieving net zero target. We have made early progress on sustainable aviation fuel and we will deliver on airspace modernisation.
