The longer runway, which began operations on 22 July 2014, will allow direct long-haul flights to emerging economies, such as Brazil and China. This summer China Southern Airlines operated seasonal flights to Beijing, and I hope these and routes to other new destinations will become a permanent feature.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 04/12/2014 14:35:41 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

To this end the CAA will economically regulate UK airports with significant market power, where the benefits of regulation outweigh the costs. As part of this the CAA assesses the level of competition between airports, where required.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 04/12/2014 14:36:39 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>At the European level sustainable aviation fuel is incentivised through generous accounting in the EU Aviation Emission Trading System, although volumes of sustainable fuel are currently very limited. Incentives in the road sector aim to increase the volume of sustainable fuels produced, in particular advanced biofuels, and reduce their cost.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that advanced biofuels offer many benefits including increased greenhouse gas savings, but that there are risks and barriers to entry associated with the production of advanced biofuels. This is why we are making available £25 million of capital funding to leverage private sector capital to construct demonstration-scale advanced biofuel plants in the UK. Many advanced biofuel technologies can be used to produce either road transport fuel or aviation fuel. Therefore, developing these technologies in the road sector will build an industry that can be used to fuel low-carbon aviation in years to come.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 07/07/2014 14:54:29 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
