	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2019 answer text <p>No such assessment has been made. The UK is one of the most connected countries in the world both domestically and internationally and this is testament to a thriving aviation industry. The Government believes that air passengers are best served by a commercial airline market which is able to operate in a competitive environment. This allows airlines to determine the routes that they operate, and from which airports, based on their assessment of costs and passenger demand.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 01/03/2019 10:48:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government continues to work towards a Withdrawal Agreement with the EU. If that is concluded, UK airlines would continue to operate as now in the period immediately after exit under the transition arrangements. In the event that the UK leaves the EU without having concluded a Withdrawal Agreement, the EU institutions are in the process of adopting a Regulation that would temporarily maintain rights for UK airlines to operate to and from the EU, but not within the EU.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 11/03/2019 12:15:44 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	uin	HL14310
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority but we have a duty to plan for the alternative. Passengers can continue to book with confidence as the EU has provisionally agreed legislation, ensuring that flights will continue in a no-deal scenario. This gives UK airlines the rights to fly to the EU. The UK will reciprocate and provide, as a minimum, equivalent rights to Member States airlines. The European Commission has also provisionally agreed a Regulation which would provide an extension (for nine months) of the validity of certain safety certificates. The Civil Aviation Authority is preparing to take on the responsibilities currently undertaken by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in the event of a no deal, and are confident that these plans will be in place in time.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 15/03/2019 13:13:14 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	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
