Frequently Asked Questions on Aviation & Aerospace Regulations
What is the UK Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate?
The SAF mandate requires a minimum proportion of jet fuel supplied at UK airports to be SAF, rising progressively to 10% by 2030 and 22% by 2040, implemented via the SAF Blending Obligation under the Energy Act 2023.
What is the UK Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS) overseen by the CAA?
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Airspace Modernisation Strategy coordinates the redesign of UK airspace, replacing ground-based navigation with satellite-based Performance Based Navigation (PBN), integrating uncrewed aircraft (UAS) and advanced air mobility (eVTOL) into controlled airspace, and reducing aviation fuel burn and flight delays.
What are passenger rights under UK Regulation 261 post-Brexit?
Retained Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 provides statutory compensation (£220 to £520 depending on distance) for passengers facing flight cancellations, denied boarding, or delays exceeding three hours, unless the operating air carrier proves the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided by all reasonable measures.
