Chancellor has reversed her opposition to Leeds Bradford Airport's expansion, citing advancements in sustainable aviation technologies and fuel efficiency post-pandemic. Previously opposed due to environmental concerns, she now advocates for the development of the airport, mentioning the government’s backing of a third runway at Heathrow and the reopening of Doncaster Sheffield airport. She highlighted that sustainable aviation fuels could reduce emissions significantly, thus allowing economic growth to align with environmental strategies.
