Transport secretary Mike Kane told parliament on Monday (9 September) the increased cost of SAF would inevitably mean higher fares.
“I think the figures are that, by 2030, we expect tickets to be £4 more, which will be a 2% increase, and by 2040, we expect them to be £10 more, which will be a 5.5% increase,” he said.
Kane was speaking as parliament approved the government’s SAF mandate, which will take effect from 1 January and compel airlines to use a mix of sustainable fuel from 2025.
