Strategic developments

Further developing IAG's sustainability strategy, on 20 August British Airways, Shell and sustainable aviation fuel company Velocys announced that they had submitted planning permission to build Europe's first household waste to jet fuel plant in Humberside, UK. It's due to begin construction in 2021 and start operations in 2024 reducing net greenhouse gases equivalent to taking 40,000 cars off the road every year.
