AOA Chief Executive Karen Dee responds to the UK Transport Select Committee’s report 'UK aviation: reform for take-off':

“We join the Committee in calling for a comprehensive recovery package that allows our sector to recover sustainably and prevents the UK from falling behind our international competitors.

"This must include financial measures to help bring routes back across the UK, or we risk losing out to European airports that are financially better placed to attract airlines thanks to generous sector-specific government support during the pandemic.

“If government does not deliver this, the impacts are clear: people and businesses who depend on aviation for their own success will carry the heaviest burden."

In his keynote address at the Changi Aviation Summit, IATA director general Willie Walsh highlighted the importance of accelerating Asia-Pacific aviation recovery:

“Asia-Pacific is playing catch-up on restarting travel after Covid-19, but there is growing momentum with governments lifting many travel restrictions.

"The demand for people to travel is clear. As soon as measures are relaxed there is an immediate positive reaction from travelers.

"It is critical that all stakeholders, including governments, are well-prepared for the restart. We cannot delay. Jobs are at stake and people want to travel."
