So what is MAG going to do to control aircraft emissions at Stansted? Seems nothing, just like the government.
What restrictions do you expect the aviation industry to have in place? Most if not any restrictions will possibly prevent operations taking place.
Airlines are waiting longer for more new fuel efficient aircraft like the A320neo and B737MAX families due to supply chain shortages across the aircraft industry in general.
Airlines and airports have been lobbying the government to hurry up the process of acquiring SAF and producing it in the UK, but compared to the USA, the UK & EU are very much behind in this field.
So moving forward, improvements to the airfield and terminal is much overdue and welcome, whilst at the same time environmental improvements are also ongoing all within the tools that the industry has available to them!
