Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what representations he has received from airlines on job creation in the aviation industry.

The Government is developing a strategic framework for the longer-term recovery of the sector, which will focus on building back better and ensuring a successful UK aviation sector for the future. In addition, the Government recognises that aviation is home to many highly skilled and highly trained workers, who are essential to the recovery and future growth of the sectors, and we have launched the Aviation Skills Retention Platform to help retain vital skills in the sector and support its recovery.
