Rolls Royces numbers predict 13% emissions reduction by reduced flying with the estimate cost increase required to use SAFs. Eg a small tax rise can give 13% flying reduction emissions without a technological change.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Any support should fund public transport first. This would cost £2B, imagine the if this was put into public transport and ebikes. It could target the poorest who can't afford a car or who are forced into car ownership. It could help transition away from oil wars.
