The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that Aberdeen International Airport has taken its first commercial delivery of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF); notes that the SAF was delivered by Air bp and will be blended with traditional jet fuel for Bristow flights to bp’s North Sea offshore operations in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS); understands that sustainable aviation fuel is from sustainable feedstocks and delivers up to 80% fewer lifecycle carbon emissions than the traditional jet fuel; applauds what it sees as this vital innovation to help reach Scotland's net zero obligations, and hopes that this work can continue in the future to keep working towards aviation becoming net zero.
