Carry on flying, the government has told the British public, in its plan to reduce transport emissions to virtually zero by 2050.
Ministers say new technology will allow domestic flights to be emissions-free by 2040, and international aviation to be zero carbon by mid century.
The policy has been ridiculed by environmentalists who say the government is putting far too much faith in innovation.
They say demand for flying and driving must be curbed if the UK is to meet its ambitious climate targets.
The aviation proposal is contained in the government’s Transport Decarbonisation Strategy - part of its master plan for the entire economy to be virtually zero carbon by mid century.
