Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with officials at Heathrow airport on the number of flights arriving at Heathrow airport with few or no passengers on board.
My officials and I regularly engage with Heathrow Airport and work constructively together on many of the cross-cutting issues.
A targeted consultation took place between 15 November to 13 December 2021 with airports, airlines and aviation industry bodies, including Heathrow Airport about alleviation from normal slot usage rules for the Summer 2022 season.
