Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many times the (a) Captain and (b) First Officer of a scheduled flight into the UK (i) radioed and (ii) communicated ahead to (A) Airport Arrivals and (B) Air Traffic Control at each airport with a request in relation to a suspected case of covid-19 on their flight in each of the last five months.
The information requested is not held centrally. The information may be available from individual airports and air traffic control providers, which operate in the private sector.
Carriers have been requested to report on the health of passengers through General Aircraft Declarations (GAD) prior to disembarkation. This information is held by Public Health England.
