Travel professionals urged to join national debate on aviation
The travel industry is being urged to contribute to an all-party debate on the competitiveness of UK aviation.
The chairman of the All Party Aviation Group, Brian Donohoe, said he was relying on people who work in the sector to put forward their opinions.
He said the Group’s inquiry into the competitiveness of UK aviation was "one of the most important debates in UK police-making".
With just one week to go until the May 16 deadline for submissions, Donohoe urged the travel industry to find out more about the terms of the inquiry and to submit responses to MPH, the Group’s secretariat, at [email protected].
"We want to hear from the widest possible group of experts from within the aviation sector and beyond. From airlines and airports, environmental groups, trade associations, think tanks, academics and individuals: I would encourage everyone with a view on how the UK can maintain our competitiveness in global aviation to get in touch and let us know your thoughts," said Donohoe.
"We cannot do our job without the involvement of expert opinion, and we’re relying on those people who work in the sector to help contribute to one of the most important debates in UK policy-making. So please get in touch and let us know your thoughts."
