St Helena: Aviation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many and what percentage of visitors to the British Overseas Territory of St Helena have experienced delays in their (a) inward and (b) outward flights of more than 12 hours in the last two years.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The St Helena Government and the commercial airline Airlink collate data on flights. During 2023 and 2024, the proportion of weather-delayed flights was around 25 per cent. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is supporting technological improvements at the airport to support operations, including to enhance weather modelling.
