Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the safety implications of passenger aircrafts landing at airportsĀ during Storm Eowyn.
The safety of the traveling public is a priority for the Government. Whether or not it is safe to land at an airport is an operational decision between the aircraft operator, air traffic controllers, and ultimately the pilot in command of an aircraft.
UK aviation operates predominately in the private sector, with each airline responsible for its own severe weather plans, tailored to specific operations, locations, and infrastructure.
