The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 20 May 2026 to Question 1259, whether the Department has plans to review and amend the 1999 Guidance on Airport Transport Forums and Airport Surface Access Strategies.

Answered by Keir Mather

The 1999 Guidance on Airport Transport Forums and Airport Surface Access Strategies establishes a clear framework for airport operators and local stakeholders to collaborate on surface access planning. This partnership approach continues to work effectively at airports across the country. The Department regularly engages with the aviation sector and other relevant stakeholders to monitor the effectiveness of this guidance and ensure its continuing relevance. There are no immediate plans to review or amend this guidance.
