Heathrow: No landing charge

Heathrow Airport will scrap a year of landing charges for the first hybrid-electric plane to operate scheduled commercial flights.

The west London hub hopes the offer – worth nearly £1 million based on three landings a day – will encourage the uptake of electric technology to reduce emissions, noise and fuel consumption.

Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye described zerocarbon flying as “the next frontier” in sustainable aviation.
