Consultation description

The Department for Transport is seeking feedback on its green paper which outlines proposals for a new aviation strategy. The strategy will set out the challenges and opportunities for aviation to 2050 and beyond and will emphasise the significance of aviation to the UK economy and regional growth.

The strategy will focus on:

developing a partnership for sustainable growth which meets rising passenger demand, balanced with action to reduce environmental and community impacts
improving the passenger experience, including through technology and innovation, a new passenger charter and action to reduce delays at the border
building on the UK’s success to establish new connections across the world and create greater choice for consumers
