British Airways: Standards

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had recent discussions with British Airways on reducing the number of disrupted flights from the UK.

Answer

It is the responsibility of British Airways to manage demand, recruit staff and have appropriate contingency plans in place for their services.

The aviation industry has worked hard to build back resilience and ensure flying programmes can be delivered. Over the summer, flight cancellations fell and continue to be in line with 2019 levels.

Reflecting on lessons learnt from the summer, the industry is working to ensure plans are reviewed ahead of the winter months.
