Bishop of St Albans asks about the climate impact of London Luton Airport

The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 4th September 2023:

The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to restrict the climate impact of London Luton Airport.

Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con, Department for Transport): The Government has ambitious plans to decarbonise all aviation, as part of our Jet Zero strategy and is already supporting a variety of technology, fuel and market-based measures to do so.

Many airports have committed to decarbonising their operations including through the deployment of low carbon vehicles, on-site renewables, phasing out gas for heating and surface access strategies. Details of Luton Airport’s specific commitments and proposals have been published in its 2022 Sustainability Report.
