International Airlines Group says it has signed a new 10-year sustainable aviation fuel purchase agreement with e-SAF producer Infinium.

A lack of planning for major incidents as well as delays contributed to UK travel chaos after a NATS air traffic control system meltdown.

Pre-pandemic slot rules will return during the summer 2023 season.

A competition has been launched to operate the first-ever commercial aircraft flight powered by 100% sustainable aviation fuel on a route between the UK and the US.

The decision follows the findings of the Global Travel Taskforce, set up by the UK government to examine how non-essential travel could be reopened safely after lockdown.

More travel restrictions to important leisure destinations have forced easyJet to cut capacity again. However, the UK government has heeded calls to adopt a regionalized approach to quarantines.

The US and UK governments are being urged to launch a testing trial for passenger flights between New York and London to speed the return of transatlantic routes and capacity.

Mandated 14-day quarantines will squelch air travel’s return to normal, airlines warn.
