Air Trooping Arrangements

Question
What recent assessment he has made of the capacity and reliability of air trooping arrangements.
Answer

The capacity and reliability of our air trooping arrangements are kept under constant review. Our capacity is sufficient to support the force levels currently committed to operational deployments. Some 92 per cent. of all UK trooping aircraft to and from Iraq and Afghanistan now arrive within six hours of their scheduled time.
