<p>The Government is not able to get involved in regulating the level of fares set
by airlines operating in the UK, or abroad. Since the inception of the Single European
Aviation market, any EU airline may establish the fare structure it wishes.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government has made no assessment on the impact of the costs of domestic
flights, but has focused on ensuring connectivity to the regions.</p><p> </p><p>However,
the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has started work on unfair contract terms with
the airlines, in accordance with the CAA’s Strategic Plan 2016-2021. The work will
include a review of the airlines’ terms and conditions with the aim of ensuring the
rights and obligations of the consumers and businesses are fair and balanced and consumers
are not being penalised by unfair contract terms.</p>
