The Transport Select Committee have published the Government’s response to their Aviation report. The committee stated they will be watching the Government’s commitment to publishing their recovery plan for the aviation sector closely.
In today’s Response, the Government sets out plans to publish a strategy for the recovery of the aviation sector during the Autumn. The aviation recovery plan, to run to 2025, is expected to address some of the Committee’s concerns under broad headings:
- the return to growth of the sector; workforce and skills;
- regional connectivity and freight; innovation and regulation;
- consumer issues; climate change and decarbonisation;
- health, safety and security; and the critical role that UK aviation plays in retaining the UK’s global reach.
The Department also says it is looking “at the recovery of the sector in the context of the Government’s green ambitions.”..more
