Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

DfT officials hold regular discussions with airlines, airports and international partners, including India, to facilitate global connectivity. Routes operated, and the flights on those routes, are a commercial decision made freely by airlines not by the Government. As this is a commercial decision, the DfT has not undertaken any assessment on future trends in the level of demand for flights to India from Manchester Airport.
