The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to implement her Department’s policy paper entitled Future of Flight Action Plan, published on 18 March 2024.

Answered by Mike Kane

The future aviation sector is central to delivering on the Government’s missions, including kickstarting economic growth and delivering opportunities for all across the country.

My Department and I remain committed to delivering on the five future of flight strategic outcomes, which include demonstration and then routine use of drones operating Beyond the operator’s Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) at scale, and initial demonstrations of piloted electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flights, followed by routine use and autonomous operations.
