Airlines welcome Flightpath to the Future initiative
The government’s Flightpath to the Future initiative will put consumers, jobs and innovation first, it says.
The new 10-point plan will have an all-new Aviation Council made up of airlines, airports and other aviation sector stakeholders.
A new aviation passenger charter rolls out this year, which will inform consumers of their rights, created by industry and consumer groups.
“Through this new strategy, I’m setting out 10 priorities to ensure we build an industry that’s not only fit for the future but one that’s world-leading,” Aviation Minister Robert Courts said
“By working closely with the sector to focus on sustainable growth, we can ensure aviation creates jobs and opportunities across all four nations of the UK.”
The industry broadly welcomed the new strategic framework for aviation.
Dale Keller, chief executive of Board of Airline Representatives in the UK said: “This is an unmissable opportunity to finally put in place the policies and implementation schedule that can ensure the future of aviation as a key economic and social asset.”
“Airlines look forward to bringing their learnings and expertise to the new Aviation Council.”
Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy Rocio Concha was more cautious.
“Poor treatment of passengers by some airlines has become routine – as we saw with carriers ignoring their legal obligations on refunds,” Concha said.
“While a passenger charter is welcome, what passengers really need is a regulator to enforce the rights they already have.”
