The Department for Transport has published a consultation on its proposals for an aviation strategy on 17th December 2018, which will set out the challenges and opportunities for aviation to 2050 and beyond.

 BAG’s Chair Mike Forster said:

 As BAG Chair I welcome the publication of the Governments Aviation Strategy – 2050 The Future of UK Aviation – and the support for sustainable growth and the focus on the passenger. I was particularly pleased to read the section on the Industrial Strategy and the proposed formation of an Aviation Exports Board in close collaboration of the British Aviation Group. It is both an endorsement of the continued success of our members around the world and a very welcome commitment for increased support for the future.”
