Business Aviation Risks Ban in UK by 2025, Labor Politicians have Suggested

The business aviation in United Kingdom is at a threat of being banned by 2025, some UK politicians have suggested.

NBAA CEO Ed Bolen says “The Business Aviation has seen the pioneering of new technologies that has seen reduction of carbon emission with less than 40% emission.” However, this isn’t the case with UK Labor politicians. Some are pushing for ultimate ban of business aviation. This has seen the business aviation groups coming into the defense with National Business Aviation Association and International Business being the main fighting for their industry.

The main reason for pushing the ban is that business aviation is too dirty. Why do they view it as being dirty? Well, The Labor politicians view the business aviation as a leading carbon emission. IBAC director Kurt Edwards says “UK leaders need to focus in making sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) widely available in UK with positive incentives to encourage use of SAF in greater quantities. The business Aviation has overseen the emissions and energy saving technologies that is been used greatly in Aviation Industry.”

Also this suggestion came as a result of a report that showed the carbon emission was equivalent to 450,000 cars a year. The Shadow Transport Secretary Andy McDonald tweeted Monday 4^th November, “The Multi-millionaires and billionaires who travel by jet are doing profound damages to the climate, and it’s the rest of us who’ll suffer the consequences. A phase-out date for the use of fossil fuel private jets is a sensible proposal.”

If the suggestion from the labor politicians is to go by, then the business aviation will suffer great losses and eventually death due to lack of profits. This is also going to greatly affect the creativity of newer technologies that will cut the energy and carbon emissions which is influenced by some of the invention technologies from business aviation as stated by IBAC director. It will also influence the full achievement of environment friendly after fossil planes are phased out as, UK seeks to be environment friendly by 2044 using strategies and plans outlined in the 25-year plan launched in 2018.
