⛽ Today Safe Landing featured in the Guardian (UK) newspaper – as we joined other environment and transport organisations (T&E UK, Possible, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace UK) proposing government action on aviation and road transport as oil and gas markets tighten during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
🗣️ Finlay Asher, aerospace engineer and think tank lead at Safe Landing commented:
“Oil supply has tightened at exactly the moment demand for flights is surging ahead of the summer holiday season.
When fuel supplies are squeezed, it’s ordinary passengers who risk being priced out first, unless governments step in to manage the situation fairly.
The key question is not whether demand reduces, but whose demand reduces – and how we protect fair access to flying.”
