PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
RAF Northolt: Flybe (12 January 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with Flybe about its proposal to use RAF Northolt for domestic flights; and if he will make a statement.

Asked by:
Gareth Thomas (Labour)

Answer

I have received and responded to two pieces of correspondence from Flybe on this topic. I advised the airline that I do not believe it appropriate to discuss their interest in use of RAF Northolt until after the Government has responded to the Davies Commission on Aviation capacity in the South East and greater clarity has been achieved on the future operating and airspace environment around RAF Northolt.
