What are the immediate and projected financial impacts of the UK's new Sustainable Aviation Fuel mandate on air travel costs for families?

The UK government's new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate requires airlines to use at least 2% green fuel, increasing to 10% by 2040. This will likely increase airfare; government impact assessments predict a potential £302.40 increase for a family of four by 2040, with up to 80% of the levy passed onto consumers. Airlines such as British Airways have already warned of price hikes.
