2️⃣ Invest in modernising regional airports across the four nations with state of the art facilities to service electric and hydrogen planes. This will keep the UK connected both internally and with our nearest neighbours, with clean, modern planes.

1️⃣ Drive growth by turbocharging R&D in cutting edge zero emission planes. We have an early lead (Cranfield, Ecojet, ZeroAvia), which could be a huge growth opportunity, or could be lost. The UK has a strong revealed comparative advantage in aerospace, so this would have positive economic spillovers.
