The owner of Manchester, East Midlands and Stansted airports has announced five new pledges it hopes will support the aviation industry in becoming Net Zero by 2050.
Manchester Airports Group (MAG) has welcomed the launch of the government’s Jet Zero Strategy which was unveiled at the Farnborough Air Show.
It includes an interim target of Net Zero domestic flights by 2040, a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate to ensure at least 10% of jet fuel is SAF by 2030 and a commitment to ensuring at least five SAF plants are under construction by 2025.
