Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what arrangements are in place to ensure the continuation of flights between the UK and Norway after the UK leaves the EU; and whether any UK–Norway air services agreement has been concluded.

As part of prudent contingency planning for a no-deal scenario, officials in my Department are working closely with their counterparts in the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications. We have agreed the detail of arrangements to ensure that, in a no deal scenario, air services will continue to operate and we expect a deal to be signed in the next few days.
