Airlines UK media release
UK airlines invest in cleaner aircraft and carbon reduction -
call for a renewed partnership with Government to fund new clean aviation technology and sustainable fuels
As part of the Airlines2050 conference taking place in London today, UK airlines have renewed their calls for a renewed partnership with Government to support the aviation industry in its efforts to decarbonise by investing in the green aviation technologies of the future.
Aviation is a major UK success story and connects Britain to the world, keeping families together, helping businesses thrive and increase trade. UK airlines are showing that they can deliver all these benefits sustainably.
Parliament has legislated to cut greenhouse gas emissions for the UK economy to net zero by 2050 and Airlines UK – the industry body – believes that through an international approach, with the right Government support, and together with substantial investment from industry, this is within reach for UK aviation by 2050.
Airlines are already implementing carbon reduction measures, with new initiatives and investments designed to speed up progress, but support from Government will be crucial:
Tim Alderslade, Chief Executive of Airlines UK, said: "Airlines are doing everything they can to demonstrate their commitment to decarbonisation - and are making real progress, investing in hundreds of new aircraft which are up to 25% more efficient than those they replace.
"Through a renewed partnership between Government and industry, the UK is uniquely placed to capitalise on the opportunities of green aviation technology, whether that's more efficient engines or hybrid electric aircraft. However, these remain some years off which is why support for sustainable aviation fuels and airspace modernisation in the here and now remains so vital.
"Aviation is of course an international sector and in addition to our own efforts, Governments across the globe must continue to support the UN offsetting scheme that will capture any growth in aviation from next year, and continue to work on developing a long-term target through to 2050 that crucially is consistent with limiting global temperatures to 1.5 degrees."
Grant Shapps MP, Secretary of State for Transport, said: "The fight against climate change is the greatest and most pressing challenge facing the modern world and aviation has a crucial role to play in tackling it. This commitment by the aviation industry is very welcome and absolutely vital if we are to reduce carbon emissions.
"The government has recently invested £2bn in aerospace research and development and sustainable fuels, and is continuing to look for opportunities to support the creation of greener, cleaner transport."

Background (notes to editors):
• The ATI Programme supports mid stage R&D projects that deliver the UK's Aerospace Technology Strategy, while boosting technology spend in the sector and securing manufacturing jobs around the UK. Funding is focused on key technologies to make aircraft quieter, more environmentally friendly and cheaper to manufacture and operate. The Government is investing £1.95 billion in aerospace R&D from 2013 to 2026, which is matched by industry bringing total R&D investment to £3.9 billion
• Delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the ICSF is a key part of the government's Industrial Strategy that focuses on the four grand challenge areas (Future of mobility, Clean growth, AI and Data, Ageing society). ISCF investment includes the Future Flight Challenge a £300m programme (including £125m of Government funding) to demonstrate novel aviation systems unlocked by electric and autonomous technologies.
• Aviation fuel is now eligible for support under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, and the Government is providing £22m to support the development of advanced low carbon fuels through the Future Fuels for Flight and Freight competition, which also requires matched funding from the private sector.
• The Government has also committed to setting a clear ambition for the aviation sector and we will publish our position on aviation and climate change for consultation shortly.

Aerospace industry seeks Brexit reassurance - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50008268
As the brexit negitiations head for the wire there is a growing awareness, that whole areas if regulation and international co- operation will not be covered in the brexit package, writes Julian Bray.
This is particularly exposed in the aerospace and aviation sector. Put simply UK benchmarking will not automatically be recognised within the federated European Union structure. I use the word 'federated' deliberately as there are moves to create a European Army and an air defene and attack capability.
This of course goes way beyond a simple trading and co-operation arrangement, and puts any commnand structure beyond the control ot individuak EU members, as the federated model effective inserts a higher supra national control structure. Politically its seen by some as a punishment or slap in the face for the UK daring to leave the EU club and taking its sizeable financial contribution with it.
This of course will highlight the shaky financial position of the EU dubbed by many as the last of the big spenders! It also highlights the fact than no one has seen properly and independently audited financial accounts for many years. If they are produced at some time in the future its expected to disclose a few sweetheart deals amongst its main members, many of which would be abandoned or immediately shut down if the financial spotlight was turned on and the participants subjected to scrutiny.

The 'beef' seems to be several ports of call were missed due to inclement weather, as we have had the tail end of a series of USA originated hurricanes, at one point the ship spent five days at sea.
The vacuum toilet system backed up (this often happens if the passengers are unhappy, as they deliberately stuff unsuitable detritus down the loo as a protest!) and the advertised Iceland port of call missed, again due to weather, but the company substituted with stops in Scotland and Belfast. Some stops out if season and nothing open!
Passengers complained the food was stale as the ship was five days at sea. ... Nonsense of course, as the ship will have been fully provisioned for the entire cruise at Southampton, its initial departure port..
The female complainant said the crisps were stale (!!!) and the meat over five days old! Ha Ha! I'd hope my steak had been hanging for at least 10 -15 days to bring out the flavour!
That aside the Company had only offered a 25% discount against a future cruise, when the passengers were demanding cash refunds. Sadly for the passengers, they had signed the booking contract, so in effect not entitled to a penny.
So this is where goodwill comes in, and essentially its the skills of the cruise director rather than the Captain can save the day. On this voyage the Cruise Director clearly didn't have the confidence of the passengers and the on board management failed in moving quickly enough to calm matters down and putting on a diversionary entertainment programme or concessionary drinks/ cocktail party.
The Americans also complained their passports were taken, as they sometimes are for checking then given back.
The last time I did an almost identical route, we went up to Russia St Petersberg. It was November but the ship still had complaints from some passengers who had booked balcony cabins complaining that they could not use the balcony as it was far too cold! November, Russia, cold? Who would believe it!
