Extract from Transport questions: Glasgow Airport: Airspace Modernisation - Nov 4

Michael Fabricant (Lichfield) (Con): Is my hon. Friend aware that Rolls-Royce is now developing an aviation jet engine that will run on 100% sustainable fuel? When that happens, will it not show that flying can be not only fun but clean?

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Robert Courts): My hon. Friend is absolutely right. I am aware of that engine that is being developed; in fact, I believe that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State went to see it only this week. There are a number of exciting technologies with new aerospace advancements including sustainable aviation fuel that will deliver precisely the guilt-free flying that my hon. Friend refers to.
