TODAY (Tuesday 17 March 2026), following the publication of the government’s Jet Zero Taskforce 2025 Annual Report, Karen Dee, chief executive of AirportsUK, the trade body for UK airports, said:

“We welcome this report and the role it plays in illustrating the measures the aviation sector is taking to ensure it can meet its decarbonisation targets and therefore be able to continue growing sustainably.

“It is vitally important that the good work that was done in 2025 is built upon in 2026, and that government continues to ensure the right frameworks are in place to support programmes like airspace modernisation and the development of a domestic SAF industry.

“The UK continues to lead the world in our efforts to decarbonise aviation and stands to benefit in the form of new jobs, new investment, energy security and other aspects, so we must not let up now.”
