The Ministry for Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) has signed a cooperation agreement with the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Transport in the field of aviation. In particular, it has signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in promoting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
SAF is strategic for short and medium term net emission reductions from the aviation sectorasserts itself as a technology poised to progressively replace fossil fuels as their production expands and increases.
It should be noted that Spain and England were pioneers in the use of the SAF and that they are clear that this is the most obvious way in the short term to decarbonize air transport. With the signing of this MoU, the two countries further align themselves in this belief and a framework will be established to further advance this issue.
This document has been signed in the framework a bilateral meeting held at the Ministry headquarters and led by the Secretary General for Transport and Mobility, María José Rallo, and Baroness Vere de Norbiton, Secretary of State for Air Transport and Maritime of the UK Ministry of Transport. David Benito, general director of Civil Aviation, had accompanied the secretary at the meeting.
