	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>Aviation in the UK operates in the private sector and it is for airlines to determine which routes they should operate. However, the Aviation 2050 consultation acknowledges the benefits regional airports and connectivity can bring to the regions and seeks views on what further actions government could take to enhance and support these connections. The consultation closes on 20 June.</p><p> </p><p>Where domestic routes have previously been squeezed out of Heathrow over time, expansion of the airport will provide an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen existing domestic connections and deliver new ones.</p><p> </p><p>The Airports National Policy Statement sets a clear expectation that an additional runway at Heathrow will deliver at least 14 domestic routes. We expect many of these connections will be commercially viable. This will ensure that regions are increasingly well connected to the capital and the UK’s biggest airport, supporting new business, tourism and cultural links across the globe.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 10/06/2019 11:13:59 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not quantify the non-CO<sub>2</sub> impacts of aviation because of the extent of the scientific uncertainty in this area. Whilst there are a number of emission types from air travel, other than CO<sub>2 </sub>that are known to have an impact on global warming, the magnitude of these impacts is not well known. This approach is consistent with the Committee on Climate Change’s recent advice that acknowledges the difficulties in measuring and reporting the impact of non-CO<sub>2</sub> emissions.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 11/07/2019 10:45:42 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
