The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of commercial protections for airline passengers.

Answered by Mike Kane

Air passenger rights remain a priority for the Department for Transport, and continues to consider options to ensure passengers have the best possible protections whilst travelling by air.

This includes ensuring aviation is accessible for all passengers. That is why the Department launched the Aviation Accessibility Task & Finish Group. It brings together industry and consumer representatives to assess the barriers and develop practical and achievable actions to make aviation more accessible.
