Falkland Islands: Aviation
- Question
- (2) what alternative routes between the UK and the Falkland Islands are available in the event of a closure to aircraft of Ascension Island.
- Answer
-
Since September 2006 no flights between the UK and the Falklands Islands have been cancelled owing to weather conditions preventing aircraft from landing on Ascension Island. Records prior to this are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. In the event of Ascension Island being closed to aircraft, alternative routes between the UK and the Falkland Islands would be managed on a case by case basis.
