A group of aviation experts across industry and government will work together to "make zero-emission flying a reality" as part of a new initiative launched by the UK government.

The airlines will engage in negotiations on the possible pre-purchase of verified carbon removal credits starting in 2025 through to 2028

The new Zero Emission Flight (ZEF) Delivery Group, set out by transport secretary Grant Shapps and business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng, will aim to further Britain’s role in the global effort to end flight emissions.

Launched at the fifth meeting of the Jet Zero Council, the new group will work to position the UK at the "forefront of the global shift to green aviation" by supporting the development of zero emission aircraft and airport infrastructure.
