Airports: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has considered the potential merits of implementing mandatory infrastructure audits for airports to prevent service disruption due to (a) fires and (b) other infrastructure incidents.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
UK aviation operates in the private sector. It is therefore the responsibility of industry to ensure appropriate contingency plans are in place to ensure safety and minimise potential disruption. My officials will continue to regularly engage with the CAA and industry to ensure the aviation sector remains safe and resilient.’
