MAG statement on the Transport Secretary's comments at the 41st ICAO Assembly

MAG CEO Charlie Cornish said: “MAG welcomes today’s comments from the Transport Secretary at the 41st ICAO Assembly, calling for international agreement on long-term decarbonisation plans.

 “Aviation is a global industry, requiring globally-coordinated actions to reduce carbon emissions through the use of new aircraft and fuel technologies, among other things. 

 “MAG is taking a leading role in delivering the UK aviation industry’s commitment to Net Zero Carbon by 2050, working closely with Government as a member of the Jet Zero Council and supporting the Jet Zero Strategy published earlier this year.

 “Through our Jet Zero pledges, MAG will support decarbonisation through developments in research, the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels and Airspace Modernisation.”
