Flybmi

Debate between Nusrat Ghani and Kirstene Hair

Monday 18th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Ms Ghani]

If the right hon. Gentleman wants to rule out no deal, he should vote for the Prime Minister’s deal.

[Kirstene Hair (Angus) (Con)]

It is welcome news that Loganair is taking on some of Flybmi’s routes, but my constituents want assurances on their new nearest airport in Dundee. We do not want to see the airport taking on other routes and losing the vital routes from Dundee down to London.

[Ms Ghani]

It is a very competitive market, and no doubt my hon. Friend’s constituents will be well represented here today. If she would like to meet the Aviation Minister, I will ensure that a meeting takes place. We are committed to all our regional airports.

Debate between Nusrat Ghani and Kirstene Hair

Thursday 22nd November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Ms Ghani]

The aviation strategy is due to be published, but the hon. Gentleman will have had sight of the inclusive transport strategy, which covers many elements of work to be done by the Civil Aviation Authority to ensure that accessibility, dignity and independent travel are delivered for passengers with disability as they are for passengers without disability.

[Kirstene Hair (Angus) (Con)]

Disabled access is equally important in our rail stations across the United Kingdom, which is why the Access for All scheme that my hon. Friend has commissioned is fantastic. I know that Montrose station in my constituency has already benefited. When will the next round of funding be released for the bids sent in?

[Mr Speaker]

The question is supposed to be about air, but I will allow a degree of flexibility.
