Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) Order 2024Contribution
What impact is this likely to have on passenger numbers? The airline industry is forecasting quite a significant fall in those, as a result of decarbonisation. One may dispute whether those estimates are excessive—the industry may be putting too high a figure on it—but it is hard to believe that there will not be some fall in numbers as a result of this sort of measure. Has the department estimated that and can the Minister tell us how many ordinary, working people—if I may call them that—will find that they are simply priced out of their holidays, as a result of this measure and those like it?
