Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of ongoing air connectivity between Belfast and London.

We recognise the importance of maintaining a thriving and competitive aviation sector in the UK that supports and strengthens Union connectivity.

Passengers between Belfast and London are well served with a choice of between 22 and 35 flights per day, depending on the season, between Belfast’s two airports (Belfast City and Belfast International) and five London airports (Gatwick, Heathrow, City, Luton and Stansted).
