Decarbonising Aviation

Proceeding contribution from Margaret Ferrier (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 September 2021. It occurred during Debate on Decarbonising Aviation.

I thank the hon. Lady for securing this important debate. Another factor that needs to be considered is

how long aircraft can be used. These vehicles are built to last, so it takes significant time before operators need to replace them or swap them out for ones that are more environmentally friendly. We know that the pandemic has led to some airlines retiring their aircraft earlier than planned, so does she agree that the Government could provide financial incentives for airlines if they choose more sustainable aircraft in the future?
