Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

Corporate Travel Management is the commercial transport contract referred to. No single company provides all helicopter transport, with a range of providers employed under the Commercial Air Transport Contract. This contract uses Central Travel Management to identify the most cost-effective commercially available helicopter travel for Ministry of Defence Ministers, senior Department officials and senior officers, alongside Cabinet Office and wider Government Ministers.
