The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 29 May 2026 to Question 3018 on Air Ambulance Services: EGNOS, whether her Department has commenced negotiations with the European Union to rejoin the EGNOS programme.

Answered by Keir Mather

The department will undertake a review of the transport case and the practicalities of rejoining the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). This work will be carried out in 2026 with the aim of enabling a decision to be made by the end of the year on whether to seek to rejoin the EGNOS programme. Any detailed negotiations with the European Union would be subject to the outcome of the review.
