Recommendation 29

We note that UK Ministers have so far ruled out the inclusion of active demand management measures in the Jet Zero Strategy in preference for a policy which promotes the growth of the airline industry following the pandemic. This is beyond the approach proposed by the Climate Change Committee. Although the Jet Zero Strategy commits to 70% passenger demand growth by 2050 on 2018 levels, the CCC’s Balanced Pathway for the Sixth Carbon Budget recommends a 25% demand increase over the same period.
