answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>No such discussions have taken place. UK airlines and airports operate in a competitive, commercial environment, and it is for individual airlines to decide what air services they operate based on their assessment of commercial and market conditions. Stobart Air was offered support under the Regional Air Connectivity Fund to set up new routes from Carlisle Airport in 2016. As yet these new routes are not in operation. Any decision to start operation of these routes would be for the airline to decide.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 16/11/2017 15:29:05 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
