Aviation
(asked on 30th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the gross value added to the economy by general aviation in the UK.
This question was answered on 20th April 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 gross value added to the economy by general aviation in the UK as being £3.8bn direct and indirect economic benefit, supporting 38,000 jobs.
We consider this research to still be valid but will keep this under review in light of emerging trends.
