Asked by: Gareth Davies (Conservative - Grantham and Bourne)
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of flight cancellations on the economy.
Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Aviation plays an important role in supporting economic growth, trade and regional connectivity across the UK.
Flight cancellations can affect passengers and businesses, who rely on punctual services and connections, and can have an impact on confidence in the aviation sector.
The UK aviation sector operates predominantly in the commercial sector. It is the responsibility of airlines and airports to work together to minimise disruption, and the Government continues to engage with industry to support resilience and protect connectivity.
