Aviation Sector

Proceeding contribution from Huw Merriman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 September 2020. It occurred during Backbench debate on Aviation Sector.

My fellow member of the Transport Committee is absolutely right. We should bear in mind what has happened to passenger numbers. Numbers in April this year compared with April last year were down by 97%. To put that in focus, that means 5,800 flights whereas we previously had 201,000. It has been an absolute collapse. The hon. Lady is absolutely right to highlight not just the impact on aviation but on communities that work in it or indeed support it from a retail perspective.
