Airlines UK: Govt justifying 'significant airport expansion' with SAF investment

Airlines UK CEO Tim Alderslade, speaking at the CAPA Airline Leader Summit - Airlines in Transition, stated (08-May-2025) "UK Government is justifying significant airport expansion, and that is predicated on investment in SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) and hitting net zero".
