uin	153229
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State has set out a clear ambition that about 15% of slots made available from a new runway should be used for domestic routes.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s modelling, which informed the economic case for the proposed Airports National Policy Statement, is primarily intended to inform long-term strategic decision-making. It does not account for specific airport business plans or potential interventions such as Public Service Obligations (PSOs) to protect and enhance domestic connectivity. This is also clearly set out in the Appraisal Report.</p><p> </p><p>Under expansion, this modelling shows an initial increase of domestic flights followed by a steady decline as routes are squeezed out by the same market forces that are squeezing out marginal routes and flights today.</p><p> </p><p>This is why the Government has committed to use this once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect slots for domestic routes at Heathrow. The Government will consider domestic connectivity and how PSOs can be used as part of the Green Paper on the Aviation Strategy which is due to be published towards the end of this year.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 18/06/2018 13:57:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

HAL’s commitment to this fund will provide start-up support for airlines seeking to introduce new domestic routes from an expanded Heathrow Airport. Importantly, this fund will be entirely privately funded with no contribution from the taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p>Government does not have any legal agreements in place with Heathrow on the fund. The proposed Airports National Policy Statement requires HAL to work constructively with its airline customers to protect and strengthen existing routes and it sets a clear expectation that expansion should deliver at least six new routes. This will be assessed as part of any Development Consent Order application.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 18/06/2018 13:55:28 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>The Government believes that the Heathrow Northwest Runway scheme can and must be delivered without affecting the UK’s compliance with its air quality obligations, given the measures set out in the Government’s Air Quality Plan.
