UNITED AIRLINES AND HEATHROW

That this House notes United Airlines' request to operate services from Heathrow in succession to Pan Am; notes that Pan Am will collapse without such an agreement; believes that United Airlines' services from Heathrow will provide much needed competition to British Airways and will improve the standard and quality of service as well as increase choice for the customer; and urges the Government to examine this issue as a matter of urgency and to grant permission by the end of the year, consistent with its policy of liberalisation of, and greater competition in, air travel.

UNITED AIRLINES AND HEATHROW (154A1)
The Early day motion has received an amendment sponsored by David Wilshire (primary, Conservative) and tabled on Wednesday, 5 December 1990. It has been signed by 1 members in total.
leave out from first 'Pan Am' to end and add 'accepts that effective competition at Heathrow is in the best interests of the travelling public; agrees that an early decision is in everyone's best interests; but urges the Government not to take this decision ahead of the completion of the review of the Traffic Distribution Rules - as such a decision in isolation could prejudice the review and damage the interests of those living near and working at Heathrow by making slots at the airport freely negotiable assets.'.
