Aviation: Employment
(asked on 23rd October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate his Department has made of the number of jobs linked to the general aviation sector in the UK.
This question was answered on 26th October 2017
In March 2015 the Government published research that the Department for Transport commissioned from York Aviation entitled “The Economic Value of General Aviation in the UK”.
That research contained an estimate of the jobs linked to the general aviation sector in the UK being 38,000.
We are commissioning research on what a strategic network of general aviation airfields might look like and this research may review that calculation.
