Speaking at the Airlines 2025 conference, Heidi Alexander said the Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Bill should receive Royal Assent in the spring – a key step towards unlocking a low carbon fuels market. However, she told delegates this would not mean increased fares.
“Let me be clear – we are not passing this legislation so passengers and airlines end up saddled with disproportionate costs,” she said. “The goal of SAF is to get more people in the skies, not fewer, to secure the right of future generations to fly, not to price them out.”
