Since start of 2025 there's been a UK 2% mandate of #SAF for fuel suppliers How much #SAF was supplied in first 6 months? Just 1.29% 5,814 MILLION litres of fossil fuel kerosene and 17 million litres of #SAF #SAF isn't the answer #greenwash #WeNeedToFlyLess gov.uk/government/s...

Like #SAF (so called 'sustainable' aviation fuel) #DAC or #CCS or #CCUS all are just myths which allow companies - and in particular airlines - to carry on polluting It's much more cost-efficient in the long term to limit pollution now - not hope to clear it up later #PolluterPays #WeNeedToFlyLess

This is the case AGAINST UK airport expansion: 2023 #ONS statistics show £42 BILLION DEFICIT for UK tourism SO... UK tourists spent £42bn MORE abroad than foreign tourists spent in UK 2024 #ONS stats show deficit has now risen to £46billion How can more holiday flights be good for our economy?

Listen up! Want to know the truth about #BristolAirport & its claims that expansion will bring jobs & economic growth? Wonderful #BCfmRadio gave #BAAN a whole hour to talk about #airportexpansion & why we don't want or need it #OneLoveOnePlanet 16/09 bcfmradio.com/listen-again

#BristolAirport are hoping to make a temporary car park on #GreenBelt land permanent #CheapParking PLEASE COMMENT & OBJECT You could cite: light, noise & air pollution damage to biodiversity & bats risk of flooding degradation of open green spaces planning.n-somerset.gov.uk/online-appli...

@BristolAirport are keeping to #nightflight quota of 4,000 by using #dispensations For Q1 + Q2 Scheduled nightflights = 1487 ACTUAL nightflights = 1895 = 408 more nightflights than scheduled But 321 dispensations allowed = 80% of extra unscheduled flights 🤬 bristolairport.co.uk/corporate/ab...

STOP AIRPORT EXPANSION We are petitioning the government to stop all airport expansion across the UK. Please help us tell our politicians that we don't want more noise and emissions. Airports are big enough. Sign the petition ✍️ and share! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

@mayorhelengodwin.bsky.social said “It’s true that Bristol Airport supports a great many jobs in our region, and is a major driver of economic growth" IS it true tho? Maybe she should look at our evidence rather than simply swallowing what the airport says? www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

Example: In April, Deutsche Bank's asset management arm DWS was fined €25 million for mislabelling investment funds as sustainable. 👉 Read our full report on the legal and climate risks of SAF: www.opportunitygreen.org/publication-... 🧵 8/8

#BristolAirport want to increase #nightflights by from 4,000 to 5,000 That's almost as many night flights as #Heathrow 90% of night flights happen in the summer So they're especially disturbing and very damaging for the health of local residents We shouldn't let this happen #BanNightFlights

The BBC must stop promoting flying in a climate catastrophe as "normal". And stop promoting car pollution & congestion at airports by regurgitating the #RAC driver lobbyist press releases with zero journalist analysis. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We've asked #BristolAirport an environmental question via @whatdotheyknow.bsky.social What % of #SAF is used by Airlines flying from Bristol Airport? The UK mandate for SAF is now 2% They're supposed to answer in 4 weeks But haven't... #eyesonbristolairport www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/perc...

Every other sector in the UK needs to reduce carbon levels to hit #NetZero Why not aviation? We need to call on the UK Government to stop the insane idea of constantly expanding airports Please watch youtu.be/NrlnwSgD33c and then sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... @FlightFreeUK

Here's the new Bristol Airport Action Network newsletter #BristolAirport expected to apply for 15mppa expansion this Autumn Sign the #NoAirportExpansion petition ‘Sustainable Skies’ - is SAF the answer? What about the jobs? Town Hall information meetings mailchi.mp/a9017607d2d7...

The 2024 #BristolAirport employment plan says: 'expanding capacity is projected to add 800 jobs at Bristol Airport and up to a further 5,000 jobs regionally' SO Bristol Airport will create 5 apprenticeships per yr Another 25 jobs per yr supplied through construction company contracts The rest?

#BristolAirport say that airport expansion will be good for the local economy We've looked at the figures and that's just not true FIVE UK citizens fly out of Bristol Airport (spending their money abroad) for every ONE overseas tourist who flies into #Bristol Job figures are hugely exaggerated

📢 SCRAP CARBON CAPTURE (CCS) Hugely pleased to have the support of @adrianramsay.bsky.social who knows CCS is just more fossil fuel infrastructure Decarbonising: creating jobs in renewables, insulation, & nature restoration is the way Write to your MP now scrapcc.org/CCS-ACTION-BS1 (More below)

Here's our new infographic all about #SustainableAviationFuel #SAF is NOT sustainable and it can NOT justify #AIrportExpansion #NoAirportExpansion

1st quarter 2025 #nightflights shows #BristolAirport are STILL abusing #dispensations Dispensations are for #emergencies - not for excusing 25% more night flights Scheduled night flights = 150 ACTUAL night flights = 289 Dispensations = 75 #WeNeedToFlyLess www.bristolairport.co.uk/corporate/ab...

MP #DavidSimmonds hits the nail on the head #SustainableAviationFuel is NOT a solution #SAF produces as much tailpipe #emissions as fossil fuel Air quality & pollution will only get worse with #AirportExpansion #NoAirportExpansion via @TheyWorkForYou theyworkforyou.com/pbc/2024-25/...

Please sign this petition to tell the government we don’t want bigger airports in the UK. They’re bad for our health and bad for the climate. It takes just a few minutes and helps get this vital issue in front of lawmakers. Thank you!

OOOPS Re-posting our infographic We mistakenly put 6,500 passenger car journeys per day But the correct maths shows up to 65,000 EACH DAY Hard to believe!!!! No wonder roads (& people) around #BristolAirport are completely #ChokedUp #NoAirportExpansion #BristolAIrportisBigEnough

"Quieter aircraft are being used with great joy by the sector to avoid having to downsize AND to be able to continue to operate night flights. Watch this video with sound on, first an old Transavia aircraft, then the new one. Is this something to cheer about?"

WOW #BristolAirport Not much #EasterSunday #sleep for locals... 12 arrivals between midnight - 2am 18 departures between 6am-7am So if you were quick you might get 4 hours uninterrupted sleep You do know that #nightflights are really bad for health? #BanNightFlights #NoAirportExpansion

Just 850 more signatures will bring us to 100,000 and trigger a debate in parliament. Plz share widely - I’m holding my breath! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Why should we oppose #BristolAirport expansion? 5 reasons in this @baancc excellent infographic More #Flights More #Passengers More #NightFlights More #CarJourneys More #Emissions & #AirPollution #ClimateEmergency #WeNeedToFlyLess #BristolAirportisBigEnough #NoAirportExpansion

#BristolAirport has ~10mill passengers per yr Only 12.5% go by bus and ~8,750,000 passengers go by car SO ~48,000 car journeys each day (there & back ) Quite excited about the prospect of having a Schwebebahn to Bristol Airport rather than all the cars Sadly the article date is 1st April 😖

Nearly at first 1000 sigs – can you help us get there? Sign the petition to stop airport expansion: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... More flights = more noise & emissions, when we should be doing everything we can to bring emissions down. Help us tell the govt we don't want bigger airports.

Why has the Govt given a £10bn subsidy to a new fossil fuel project in Teesside when the gas plant’s total emissions would far exceed any carbon stored under the sea? I am challenging this with @goodlawproject.bsky.social - read more: goodlawproject.org/labour-is-ch...

Demonstration next week🚨 Join us as we head to the Royal Courts of Justice at Midday on the 1st April to support @galba.uk to say no to airport expansion! GALBA is taking the government's aviation policy to court. Join us outside the courts for day one of their 'Jet Zero' Judicial Review.

#B&NES says 'No' to #bristolairport expansion Bristol Airport is not a good neighbour. Our future rests with our children. We have a duty to protect them from the long-term impacts of climate change and the immediate damage from air pollution and traffic danger. bathnewseum.com/2025/03/21/n...

Would further expansion at #BristolAirport be good for the local economy? It seems not... fill out our survey to let us know your views bit.ly/BAANSurvey #NoAirportExpansion #BristolAirportisBigEnough

You never turn your ears off; when you're asleep, you're still listening So responses, like your heart rate going up, still happen while you're asleep Long term exposure to loud noise increases your risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke & type 2 diabetes www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Public Inquiry rejected Gatwick Airport’s bid for a 2nd runway. Noise one of the reasons. Most relevant to citizens at other airports was the metric used: people can be disturbed when noise averages out at 51 decibels over a 16 hour day More in our blog uecna.eu

There is clear advice from @thecccuk.bsky.social that airport expansion is not feasible if we want to hit our carbon budgets. This message doesn’t seem to be cutting through. So, how can we ensure climate & aviation messaging really lands? Rachael Orr explores: climateoutreach.org/climate-avia...

Polling by @YouGov for #ClimateOutreach & #Possible found 61% believe #airportexpansion is the WRONG priority Only 6% agreed with expansion 70% say upgrading the rail system is the right priority for the country 68% back a national scheme to insulate homes climateoutreach.org/climate-avia...

There’s no conflict between a safe climate and a strong economy: A frequent flyer levy would squash demand among the highest emitters who cause most of the problem Then reform the tax structure for private jets & 1st class along a polluter pays principle www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/su...
