A new carbon-offset scheme will allow passengers to buy sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) credits, and all flights from London to Glasgow and Edinburgh during the COP26 global climate summit will partially run on SAF

Gimmicks aside, chief executive and chairman Sean Doyle set out the three planks that BA say will make it a net-zero airline by 2050.

It has already invested in a US refinery that will start delivering SAF next year, and is involved in four UK-based SAF initiatives, backed by £15m of government money, including a potential new plant converting commercial waste into aviation fuel in Immingham. But Mr Doyle insisted there is a sustainable future for aviation, not least because of our desire to resume travelling as soon as we are able.

And he says growing climate costs do not mean in future it will become once again the preserve of the rich.
