Airlines welcome new strategic framework for aviation - 26 MAY 22

Government’s aviation plan is an opportunity for success

26 May 2022 - The Board of Airline Representatives in the UK (BAR UK) has welcomed today’s publication of Flightpath to the Future, the Government’s new strategic framework for aviation.

Dale Keller, chief executive of BAR 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 for the UK. Past strategies for aviation have been too limited in ambition and scope so embarking on a more progressive policy around planning, implementation and delivery for long term success will be vital to supporting recovery and sustainable development of the sector.

“Airlines look forward to bringing their learnings and expertise to the new Aviation Council as it develops the balanced and internationally competitive polices with effective oversight needed to support innovation and continuous improvement across the aviation sector for the benefit of the whole country.”
