Transport Secretary hails flight using sustainable fuel
The first transatlantic flight to use 100% sustainable aviation fuel has taken off from Heathrow Airport for JFK in New York.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said it's an "important first step as it shows Britain is ambitious about decarbonising aviation." Mr Harper also revealed plans for new legislation which will ensure all flights have at least 10% sustainable fuel by 2030.

Heathrow has submitted its latest plans for a third runway at Europe’s busiest airport. The total cost, including new terminals and infrastructure, will be £49 billion pounds. The airport says expansion will create up to 40,000 new jobs and add 0.43% to the UK’s GDP by 2050. However, the plans will face fierce opposition from locals, politicians and climate campaigners.

Dr Caterina Brandmayr, Director of Policy and Translation at the Grantham Institute, says Heathrow Airport's expansion would make it "very challenging for the aviation sector to decarbonise", potentially impacting the government's current net zero targets.

New York Tour Bus Crash Video: A tragic tour bus accident in upstate New York leaves five dead, including passengers from India and China, and injures dozens more. The Staten Island-based M&Y Tour bus lost control on Interstate 90 near Pembroke, crossed the median, and flipped on the shoulder. Authorities report that the 55-year-old driver was distracted and over-corrected, but the vehicle showed no mechanical failure. Columbia University student Xie Hongzhuo, 22, was among the victims. Emergency responders, including multiple agencies, rushed to the scene, and the NTSB has deployed a team to investigate the cause. Families and communities mourn this heartbreaking loss.
