<p>Through their work to negotiate, update and enforce the UK’s extensive portfolio
of bilateral and multilateral “Air Services Agreements” my officials seek to: maximise
business opportunities and ensure a level playing field for our airlines and airports;
minimise administrative and cost burdens for industry; and remove barriers to operational
and commercial flexibility.</p><p> </p><p>This approach helps to deliver international
connectivity, choice and value for money, benefitting businesses and consumers. The
rights secured by my officials enable services to and from airports throughout the
UK, but whether to exercise those rights is, of course, a commercial decision for
airlines.</p>
