BAG has been successful in getting as seat on the Jet Zero Council Zero Emissions Flight Delivery Group as well as the related Infrastructure Sub-Group. The ZEF Delivery Group, chaired by Rachel Gardner-Poole working alongside the Department for Transport, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department for Business and Trade, is providing advice on how government and industry can work together to best accelerate the adoption of zero emission flight and put the UK in a leading position in the race to achieve zero emission flight. It is building on the work of the Aerospace Technology Institute’s (ATI’s) FlyZero project and DfT’s Zero Emission Flight Infrastructure (ZEFI) project. It focuses on 3 specific areas: zero emission aircraft; ground infrastructure to support zero emission flight; regulatory requirements for zero emission flight.
Sustainable Aviation is a long term strategy which sets out the collective approach of UK aviation to tackling the challenge of ensuring a cleaner, quieter, smarter future for our industry. Several years ago, all parts of the aviation sector came together to produce a long term strategy setting out the collective approach of UK aviation to tackle the challenge of ensuring a sustainable future for our industry.
The group arising from this initiative is called Sustainable Aviation, and brings together the main players from UK airlines, airports, manufacturers and air navigation service providers. BAG is a full member of Sustainable Aviation and participates in all Working Groups regularly.
The BAG Board – when required – operates a Policy Group (as part of our Strategy Working Group) which addresses the need for a common voice that requires development of positioning with government and other industry bodies. This is in close alignment with the overall strategic direction for BAG but benefits from wider thinking. Responses from 2023 include “BAG responds to Government’s 2040 zero emissions airport target Call for Evidence“.
One of last week’s highlights was attending the BAG Summer Seminar and evening reception. We found that it was very engaging, very well organised, venue was spot on and everyone was so friendly. Loved engaging with everyone in such a relaxed environment, lots of funny stories were shared. Particularly liked meeting with likeminded professional problem solvers like ourselves.

“The BAG mentoring programme has been a game changer in my professional life. Having a mentor has helped me believe in myself, with my self-confidence and to see things from a different perspective. My mentor challenges me on what is needed and encourages and supports me as well. It is great to be able to have an honest and open discussion with someone who has been through similar experiences and learn from her. I wish everyone could have a chance to have such a mentor!”
