Amex GBT urges UK government to support scaling of SAF production
In the UK, BTN Europe reported that American Express Global Business Travel is urging the UK government to create “a stable policy landscape” that supports the scaling of sustainable aviation fuels ahead of the UK’s planned SAF mandate. The report noted that the UK government is expected to pass legislation in the coming weeks that will require airlines taking off from the UK to use at least 10% SAF by 2030 which would mirror an EU mandate already in place. In addition to the roundtable, Amex GBT also plans to release a SAF manifesto, which will outline the industry’s areas of concern ahead of this year’s general election. This will include calls for recognition of ‘book-and-claim’ platforms – with clear and consistent accounting and reporting standards – as a means of unlocking long-term corporate investment, as well as incentives to boost SAF production and R&D across the supply chain, the report added.
