Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what representations his Department has made to airlines to help ensure British citizens are able to return to the UK during international Covid-19 restrictions and limited international flights.

Ministers and officials have engaged extensively with the aviation and travel industries throughout the pandemic. We remain committed to an open engagement with the sector and continue to work with industry partners to share information with the aim of ensuring a safe return of international travel and that commercial routes continue to remain open to enable British citizens to return to the UK.
