- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits taking steps to increase the cost of private jet flights, in the context of their impact on the environment.
- Answer
-
The aviation sector, including business aviation, is important for the whole of the UK economy and supports connectivity, direct economic activity, trade, investment and jobs.
The Department is taking measures to reduce emissions from aviation. Its Jet Zero Strategy sets out how the sector can achieve net zero aviation by 2050 without requiring additional government interventions to limit aviation growth, by focusing on new fuels and technology.
