Scale of Charges
For current scale of charges, please see HERE.
These are applicable from 1 December 2024.
Fuel Prices
As of 1 January 2025, the UK Government has implemented the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate as part of its pathway to sustainable aviation. This mandate, which aligns with similar legislation in EU member states, requires all aviation fuel suppliers in the UK to blend 2% SAF with jet fuel, which will increase over coming years.
As a result, a Mandate Compliance Fee (MCF) will be added to invoices from 1 January 2025. The MCF will be calculated based on:
- The underlying market price of SAF
- The mandated blending percentage (2% for 2025)
- Distribution and operational costs
The exact MCF has not yet been determined and will be announced shortly.
Please note that this fee will apply to all suppliers of JET A1 fuel in the UK and, consequently, will affect all airports and operators.
For more details, please see the government legislation: The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) Order 2024
