Ministers: Helicopters

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 21 February 2025 to Question 30825 on Ministers: Helicopters, if he will list all the providers that can provide helicopter transport under the terms of the Commercial Air Transport contract.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Cabinet Office has a general travel contract in place provided by Corporate Travel Management (North) Ltd (CTM) that can arrange travel by various modes. CTM maintains a comprehensive database of pre-approved operators. Owing to security considerations, and the commercially sensitive nature of the contract, CTM is unable to provide details of individual operators.

This contract started in September 2022, under the previous administration. This contract has not been used for helicopter travel by this Government.
