It is the responsibility of industry to manage demand, recruit and roster staff. The Aviation Minister and DfT officials continue to engage with the sector, including Heathrow to gain assurances on their operational planning and performance.<\/p>
For Heathrow, this includes their planning for industrial action that coincides with the Easter period. At peak periods, passengers should be prepared that airports will be busier and should follow all advice from their airline and the airport. The Aviation Passenger Charter, published last year, makes clear the rights of passengers and the responsibilities of the sector.<\/p>
On 27 March the CEO of the CAA Richard Moriarty and Director General for Aviation, Maritime and Security, Rannia Leontaridi jointly wrote to CEOs across the aviation sector to set out expectations ahead of the Summer 2023 season.<\/p>
Under the CAA\u2019s economic regulation of Heathrow, the airport is required to measure its security queues against targets of 95% of queues below 5 minutes and 99% below 10 minutes. The performance can be tracked via Heathrow\u2019s website.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-04-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-04-04T08:58:43.307Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-03-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Heathrow Airport: Passengers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment his Department has made of the impact of waiting times at Heathrow Airport on passengers; and what discussions his Department has had with the Civil Aviation Authority on the steps being taken to reduce waiting times at that airport.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "174297"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1607698", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1607698/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Decarbonising road transport is critical to delivering the UK\u2019s net zero ambitions and the Government has an important leadership role to play in driving this transition.<\/p>
<\/p>
As of September 2022, over 25% of the cars and vans in the central government fleet were ultra-low emission vehicles, delivering this target well ahead of the Government\u2019s December 2022 deadline. The Government is now going even further and has committed to its car and van fleet being fully zero emission at the tailpipe by 31 December 2027. Departmental officials are working with colleagues from the Crown Commercial Service and Energy Saving Trust to provide other government departments with advice and guidance to support them to deliver this commitment.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-03-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-03-31T09:36:07.823Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-03-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Government Departments: Electric Vehicles"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to promote the uptake of electric cars by Government departments..", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/14", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir John Redwood"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wokingham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "John Redwood"} ], "uin" : "174163"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1607701", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1607701/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The table below summarises the amounts of dedicated funding for active travel provided by the Department for Transport in the current and previous financial year. It is not possible to provide separate totals for investment in walking schemes and investment in cycling schemes. The figures do not include the funding for active travel that comes from wider funding streams such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS). The Department\u2019s highways maintenance funding for local authorities provides further funding for roads and pavements and so also benefits cyclists and pedestrians.<\/p>
